IE8 is in beta stage, and it shouldn't be installed on main computer!!
If it came through Windows updates, I assume, you had beta1 installed before.
Do you have SP3 installed? If so, and it was installed after IE8 beta 1, you're stuck. There is no way to uninstall it.

system restore worked thank god, that beta was crapy..    if anything says beta does that mean its in testing stage?  thanks

"alpha" is when a company test a program internally
"Beta" is released to potential customers of the release version for bug reports on a larger scale then the Alpha test stage.

so- yes, Beta is software in the testing stage.
