Thumbs up Unistaller for IE 8 released from Microsoft - 03-23-2009, 03:37 PM

If you have problem after installing Internet Explorer 8 (known incompatibility issues are listed here: Release Notes for Internet Explorer 8 ) and want to remove it to revert back to IE 7 , Microsoft Fix-it team has developed an uninstaller for IE 8, UninstallIE80.MSI
more details here

How do I uninstall or remove Internet Explorer 8?

Note that it will create a restore point before starting to remove all traces of IE 8 from system.

Personally tested: it works fine

Moreover, in order to help users to prevent from installing IE8 through Automatic Update , Microsoft has released IE Blocker 8.0:

I'm glad to be helpful whs
This tool removes all traces of IE 8 from registry too, sometimes simply using control panel to uninstall IE 8 is not enough for those who got problems.
