ENSURE YOUR WINDOWS SYSTEM IS RUNNING either IE11 or the newer Microsoft EDGE

THIS UPDATE IS MANDATORY, OR YOUR COMPUTER WILL NEVER GET SECURITY UPDATES AFTER JANUARY 12, 2016

I have no idea if these work on Windows XP, which is very dangerous to run - I think NOT.

To check your version number:
   start Ie
   Click on HELP near the top left of the IE scren
   click on ABOUT INTERNET EXPLORER

   If you HAD automatic install of IE updates set to on, you probably have IE11.

Last chance to upgrade IE or switch browsers as Microsoft's mandate looms
