[SOLVED] Microsoft I.E. update

matador · 06-17-2008, 12:57 PM

Hello Everyone!

I am your newest newbie! (XP Prof: SP2)

I have just had Belarc Advisor installed. It informs me that the update
KB939653-IE7 is missing and has to be re-installed.

On checking, it seems that this is an update for I.E.7. (I'm probably wrong, but I'll continue anyway!) it also probably does not apply to me, I am running I.E.6. Also, because of the great problems that I had with trojans etc, I have installed Firefox and am using it most of the time.

To return to the original problem, when I checked this update, I note that another update has been added later, which supercedes the one that I mention. However, my Belarc Advisor states that I should re-install.

I would be grateful if you can offer any advice in this matter. I don't want to install things just because they are not there - they may be irrelevant!

Thank you!

Hello and welcome to TSF

I reckon it could be that you dont have IE7 installed. MS would say you need updates for IE if IE7 is not installed.

Go The Power,

Many thanks for the welcome, and advice.

I shall ignore the "advice" to re-install, and just carry on as normal. (If it blows up - I'll come back for instructions on a "re-build!")

regards,

matador
