      By installing patches. ::)
      If you want a better answer you will to give me details on what exactly you want to patch.

        Well, What I  really want to know is, what if I exploit one of my other computers and there is no patch on the internet to download, how do you patch then? Can you make your own patch?

          Yes in theory you could make your own patches but this will usually not be feasible with any closed source software like Windows for example. Besides if you need to ask this is way, way, way above your level.
          I still don't understand what it is you want to do though. If you want to patch Windows go to Windows Update. If you're looking for patches for any other program visit its homepage.

            I'm using Linux.  It is above my level, that's why I'm only asking, I'm not actually trying to do it. I was just wondering if it was possible so I can start learning how.

              I made my own program in Perl to run an exploit on the other machines on my network. It was successful, but there is no patch for it, because I discovered the hole.
