I was recently reviewing a web site when a pop-up window
came up saying that "To display this page correctly, you
need to download and install Java virtual machine." It
then had a button marked "Download." After clicking on
the button it took me to microsoft's windows update page,
but I couldn't find anything marked virtual machine to
download. Could someone please help me. Thanks.

due to Sun taking Microsoft to court over the VM, Microsoft no longer offers
it. Go to www.sun.com and find and download it there.

Chris;
Microsoft is removing Microsoft Virtual Machine from its websites and
stopping distribution because of a court order:
http://www.microsoft.com/java/
http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/VM.htm

You can download Microsoft Virtual Machine from here:
http://www.biologylab.awlonline.com/ms_javavm.php

You can download Sun Java here:
http://java.sun.com/getjava/


And a tip from Michel Gallant (MVP Security):

Anyone downloading these VM installers should make sure that they
are authentic versions, as originally distributed by Microsoft.
I am not questioning the integrity of the files on these sites, but
only
making a suggestion about due-diligence security wise.

You should verify the digital signature on these files:
Right Click | Properties | Digital Signatures ..

Go to http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.html and get whatever version
you want.
