if you use IE, and you have vista, you need to go to start - control panel - windows update - as the link wont work for you

and I like trends advice to find a different browser - it's not that IE is the worst browser, but it is still by far the most used browser and therefore attackers will try to find these vulnerabilities. Whatever browser is the most popular will always receive the most attacks

Solution: Don't use shitty browsers like IE.

Rather than get an update, which is as useful as turning a tampon around to reuse it, download firefox, problem solved
