Rebooted twice. Even crashed the computer on purpose and restarted it. STILL SAYS IE8!!!
In the Internet Explorer folder the iexplore.exe is above. This does not appear to be 9!!
The reason why I am updating is because IE 8 seems to be having problems. For example, clicking "upload attachments" here does nothing -- I had to switch to Google Chrome to make that attachment appear!!!

Notice how the Version Number and Cyber Strength entries are blank too... weird.

On this computer, IE does NOT appear in the Add/Remove Programs list. Can't remove it that way!
