If you intend to keep using internet explorer for ever, you need to stop using the version you now have and upgrade to the latest internet explorer 11.
the specification for desktop version include the following:

Version of windows: Official internet version are:

windows 7 internet explorer 8,9,10,11

windows 8.1 internet explorer 11

windows 10 internet explorer 11

Therefore, make sure you determine exactly which version of internet explorer you've got and we also suggest that you verify to make sure rather than choosing what you you consider might be the better choice. And you need to ask yourself a question.

Are you aware of when you version of IE will receive it's security update?

if you are already on using the IE version 11, i must say you are already on a safe side.

However if you are already on windows 7 and haven't updated to the latest internet explorer 11, then by Tuesday 12 January 2016, you will stop receiving  security updates and fixes from Microsoft.

if you consider doing absolutely nothing, then any security vulnerability that arise on the your existing internet explorer version will not be patched and will never be patched. 

Therefore, after January 12 2016, if you haven't updated to the IE version 11, your windows 7 computer will start issuing End of Life notifications
