Hello,
First of all I would like to say I'm no computer Guru. On some sites I get a message saying that I have a
outdated browser, and that I need to update to a newer one such as internet explorer, firefox, etc. My question is what should I do on updating this, and will this cause any problems?
Thanks!
When you're done updating, you may want to set your browser to automatically inform you when there is a new update available.
Firefox: Tools>Options>Update (tab)
IE: Help> About Internet Explorer (select auto updates)
It's generally better to keep your browser updated, because they fix security issues that arise.
And no, this should not cause any problems, assuming you have a recent Operating System - Windows7, or Vista.

Software on your computer especially things like a browser needs to be kept up to date. Those updates frequently contain fixes for security issues.... Besides that were at time having a newer browser is almost required, support for older browsers is quickly going to die with a lot of the new HTML5 features and CSS3 formatting that are starting to make there way into a lot of websites .
