Thanks for the post Randy48 --

Just another reason I'm glad I'm running 98Lite with the old IE 5.0 core only loaded on top! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif I can't even get very far with IE if I wanted to use it (since it's just a 8Mb core, it isn't much good for the net!)

Harder

Thanks, Randy.

Your post made me realize, upon investigation, I haven't been getting my updates for 3 days now... I'm glad you posted this.

Are there other patches for MSIE we should be applying also, or does that update cover all the latest vulnerabilities and weaknesses?
