Explorer needs updating from 9 to 11 on Windows Vista

End of support does not mean Chrome will stop working in Vista. It means that, like XP, users will no longer receive security updates and patches so increasing the chances of picking up malware.0

Thanks for this help. I've decided to try slim jet and see how I get on. However I think I need a new virus checker as Windows essentials has gone from my bottom toolbar. Can anyone recommend a free virus checker please. Also I can't seem to find in help how to set Google as my homepage. Any help with that would be appreciated too. Many thanks everyone.
I'm mistaken sorry . Windows essential is still in there.
So just some help with Google homepage needed. Thanks0 -
......... Before Windows 10 was released, I was thinking about replacing this Vista machine, but after the release of 10, much was written about things not going too well, that I pulled back. .....
I find this ironic, many more bad things were written about Vista than Win 10, yet you still went with Vista. :cool:Move along, nothing to see.0 -

I would suggest, whichever browser you are using, type in make google my homepage, then when it comes up, there should be a box on it click on this to make your homepage.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
You do know that computers work off electricity now. Dump Vista and get a cheap machine that runs Windows 10 Simple.0
