Reinstall IE 8 W7

I recently upgraded from Vista to W7 and IE 8 has become corrupted.

I've searched all over and cannot find any way to repair, uninstall IE 8 or
download to reinstall.

This seems like a silly situation for MS to create. I'm stuck and had to
create this post on Firefox.

Why are you assuming it's corrupt?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

What anti-virus application or security suite was installed prior to the
upgrade and was your subscription current?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
