How important is downloading Internet Explorer 8?

I have been trying for months to download Internet Explorer 8 along with some other updates.

I added RAM, I have tried all the different steps listed on every website that I can find, but for some reason they will not download!

I keep getting 80007371B for Internet Explorer 8 as well as for update: KB980195

800736B3

Also, 643 for KB973688

And, 646 for four different Office 2007 updates

How important is Internet Explorer 8 anyway?

Thanks everyone!

    For a time, I used both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

    If you want to stick with Internet Explorer(the version you have), nothing bad will happen and everything is completely functional without the update. You still can use YouTube, Facebook, or any other site you need to get on.

    Although, I would highly reccomend switching to Google Chrome because it is:

    1. Faster.

    2. Faster to open up/start up.

    3. It doesn't have all that "clutter".

    You may stick with internet explorer if you so wish because it's what you're comfortable with, but that's just my opinion :)

    Run an epidemic test to make positive you have not got any viruses. Uninstall internet Explorer out of your computing device and do a residing house windows replace, in case you do not somewhat like doing the updates merely deselect each thing except IE. i recognize my computing device insects me everytime i tried taking away it so I merely left it and bumped off each document asociation (except the occasional application that would not link to default browser yet to a particular one, continually IE)

    Its not Important at all. IMO IE 8 is boring and featureless. GO get Mozilla Fire Fox or Google Chrome instead. they work much faster and can be customized however you want with different skins and add ons. its advised to have more than one browser on your computer. in case one fails.

    Open the browser and go to Tools.Find Microsoft Updates and click on that. It goes to the Microsoft Update web page.Get all the updates that you need.

    To be honest, it sucks. I never did like IE. Use Firefox, it's more stable, secure, and is by far more customizable than IE.
