Microsoft provides versions of IE ready to go for VirtualBox. You select 
which version of IE you want and the version of Windows to emulate and 
they give you a zip file.

1) Download the zip
2) Extract the zip
3) Open VirtualBox and Import Appliance

The images expire after 90 days. When that is up you delete the virtual 
machine and import another one. So don't delete your .zip file.
