What's new

v11.0 [Feb 22, 2012]
- This security update resolves several reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage in Internet Explorer.
- General distribution release (GDR) fixes.

v9.0 [May 24, 2008]
In this version you will find a simplified design, with more screen space devoted to web browsing and less to the browser’s options. You will be able to pin a site to taskbar and later open it with a single click. Searches and sites addresses are entered in the same place and, in each new tab, Internet Explorer will show you a list of your most visited sites. Security has been improved, and many non-essential options are now displayed in a yellow bar, on the bottom of the screen, which will not conflict with your browsing experience. There are more options available in the Download Manager.

Other issues to be aware of
The new Smart Address Bar and Windows Search
Internet Explorer 8 has a new Address bar that searches the titles and addresses of your history, favorites, and RSS feeds as you type. This enables you to find the sites that you want quickly and easily. This feature works best when Windows Search is installed and is enabled.
