    You already have IE8 if your getting that pop-up. It got installed if you had Windows set to automatically update. You can set it up and be done with it, make another browser your default (but you still might get that pop-up sometimes until you go through with it, some programs launch IE regardless of your default settings) or uninstall (not delete) IE8. Detailed information and instructions for uninstalling IE8:

    Change you Windows update settings to check for updates but let you decide which updates to install.
