    Dave, when I ran the Secunia Software Inspector it said that I needed to update my Internet Explorer and I should go to windows update to get a bunch of missing patches.  But when I go to windows update it tells me there are no updates for my computer.  What should I do?  Here is the info from the scan:

     This installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.x is insecure and potentially exposes your system to security threats!

    Your system does not have all security related patches from Microsoft installed. Please see list below for details about the missing patches.

    Update Instructions:
    Download via Microsoft Windows Update.

      I have ran the software inspector several times from both IE and firefox.  I was able to update all the software except fro the IE patches listed above, and also it keeps saying I need to update my firefox from version 3.5.10 to the latest 3.5.16.  I have downloaded the upgrade several times, and when I check from in firefox it says I am running version 3.5.16.  I also checked for updates from within firefox and it said no updates were available.

      when I go to windows update it tells me there are no updates for my computer.  What should I do? 
      I would tend to agree with MicroSoft.

      I think IE9 is out now. I'll have to upgrade mine soon.

      I wouldn't worry about Firefox too much, if I were you. One day you'll open it and it will tell you to upgrade. My version is also 3.5.16 and I upgrade not too long ago.
