I just checked my updates on vista and it has not installed the internet explorer security update yet nor can I find it to install it.
I went to microsofts website as well but in the end it brings me to my update manager but it is not there?
Where can I find this patch? Thanks!
According to this and other articles the patch was released yesturday.

December 17, 2008 (Computerworld) As it promised yesterday, Microsoft Corp. today issued an emergency patch to plug a critical hole in Internet Explorer (IE) that attackers have been increasingly exploiting from hacked Web sites.
When I went to the MS Update site both XP and Vista patches were available for download/installation. Did you check your update history to see if it had already installed automatically?
For XP it looked like this. I believe it was also numbered 960714 for vista.
