Internet Explorer 8 builds 18702 and 8702IC??

Question

I'm having an issue with a strange version of IE8 which I have not come across until now. The version causing all the trouble with me is 8.0.6001.8702IC? Has anyone come across this version yet?

This funky version is breaking a lot of the websites I worked on, mostly asp.net 1.1 and 2.0 web sites. However, the [supposedly] final build of IE 8.0.6001.18702 is displaying my webpages perfectly.

Can anyone illuminate some light on this issue beyond "refactor your HTML and CSS"?

Many Thanks!

The "IC" means it's an "Internet Content Provider" version - it's been customized by a 3rd party, usually with their branding.

There shouldn't be any functional differences - maybe there's a plugin that's causing the problem you're having?
