    There are no Service Packs for IE7. To date Microsoft has not acknowledged any vulnerabilities in IE7. So, in short these have not been patched, yet.

    Thank you for the information. I may have a problem. Following the installation of IE7 I got a prompt that I had new updates available. One of them was what I thought said it was service pack 2 for IE7. This was a installation wizzard package that said I should back up my data before installing. So I backed up and ran it again. I have checked my Windows Updates and the only other thing showing up for that date is the Genuine Windows Tool (is it a installation wizzard package). Was I duped into installing something dangerous?

    Go to Windows Update and access the Update History. Tell me what the most recent updates are that you installed. The ones for December should be sufficient.

    The only recent update for IE is a hotfix, in November, for IE6. MS to date has not released any patches for IE7.
