Is there any plugin for IE, with I can use Websockets in IE 7-8-9? I haven't found any :(

IE Versions < 10 do not support Websockets, but you can use alternative techniques like flash or ajax-longpolling.
The WebSocket protocol enables interaction between a web browser (or other client application) and a web server with lower overhead than half-duplex alternatives such as HTTP polling, facilitating real-time data transfer from and to the server.
One of the fallbacks used by socket.io is the flash one: gimite/web-socket-js.
It uses flash to establish a socket connection. Because of this you can get WebSocket support on pretty much any legacy platform, since they all have flash.

There is no native WS support until Internet Explorer 10. However, you might consider using a JavaScript library such as Socket.IO, which can be used for cross-browser WebSockets support.
