Google Earth can be downloaded on Windows 8 but more important question is whether it will run on Window 8.
In most situations Google Earth will run on Windows 8 but there are some reports of users with problems running on Windows 8 so best to try to install GE and see if it works correctly or not. Note that Google has not officially listed Windows 8 as a supported platform for running Google Earth.
If the normal download page fails to download Google Earth then try the direct download page (found in the related links below).
Also at present Google Earth is a 32-bit application so it doesn't take advantage of the all the computers memory. 32-bit apps are limited to 2 GB of memory.

How do I uninstall Smilebox?
If you simply wish to turn off notifications from Smilebox, you can do that by clicking the Smilebox tray icon (menu icon on the MAC). Simply click the "Notify Me About Recipient Views and New Designs" line and it will now show un-checked. When you exit Smilebox with notification turned off, the tray icon will also disappear. If you choose to start Smilebox at a later date, the tray icon will appear again, but will disappear when you close Smilebox again (as long as the "Notify" is un-checked). It will not remain on your tray when Smilebox isn't actively running if the "Notify" is un-checked.
If you wish to uninstall the Smilebox program from your computer, please do the following:
If you have Windows XP, click the Start button, then Control Panel. Select "Add or Remove Programs". When the list of programs comes up, click on Smilebox and then on the "Remove" button. If you are using a partner version of Smilebox it may have a slightly different name, such as, Hallmark Smilebox.*
If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, click on the Start button, then Control Panel. Select "Programs and Features" ("Programs" for Windows 7 users). When the list of programs comes up, click on Smilebox and then on the "Uninstall" button. If you are using a partner version of Smilebox it may have a slightly different name, such as, Hallmark Smilebox.*
If you have Mac, the uninstall is a 3 step process: 1) close the icon on the menu bar (click the Smilebox icon and then select Quit from the menu options), 2) from the Applications folder, drag the Smilebox application to the trash, and 3) from your home directory, choose Library > Application Support folder, drag Smilebox to the trash. You can then empty your trash to clear Smilebox.
* If you are unable to find Smilebox in your list of programs on a Windows computer, we do have an alternative way to uninstall the Smilebox application. To uninstall, you will need to find the directory where the application is saved. There is an uninstall.exe file included in the Smilebox application directory. (On all machines, you might, first, have to choose the option to Show Hidden files from within your Control Panel options):
For a Windows Vista and Windows 7 computer, the Smilebox directory is defaulted to the following path: <username>\Appdata\Roaming\Smilebox. When you locate the uninstall.exe file, right click on the icon and select the option Run as Administrator. That will uninstall the program.
For the Windows XP computer, the Smilebox directory defaults to the following location: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Smilebox. Double click the uninstall.exe file to uninstall Smilebox.
This should remove the software.
