JavaScript not executed in SharePoint sites - possible Microsoft Hotfixes (KB 2600088 or KB 2600217) no longer available? Other solution?

Question

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place for that question - sorry if it belongs somewhere else.
I've got the problem that newer IE versions like IE 10 or 11 won't execute JavaScript in my SharePoint application pages and after some research I found out, that for some reason the browser doesn't get recognized properly in combination with the .NET Framework,
what causes it to be running in an old mode where JavaScript etc isn't even activated or something like that.
I also found out, that there already are hotfixes for this problem and tried to download the hotfix KB 2600088, but the link I get from Microsoft via mail always leads to "The
resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
After that I found out, that KB 2600088 is included in another update KB 2600217 but this ALSO sends me to a page not found error....
Is there any possibility to get one of these hotfixes or is there maybe another solution for this problem?
If I set the document mode of the browser to IE 9 it works, but this is no acceptable solution.
