The software had not been selected for installation, and the team that rolled out updates had specified that it not be installed. But still the calls came in about not being able to surf after the updates were installed. Our solution at the time was not to troubleshoot the browsing issues, but rather just uninstall IE 7. We found that the Microsoft/Windows updater had a tendency to install IE 7 even when told not to. It was rather frustrating. I've had no interest in it since.
