Security Update for Microsoft Internet Explorer If you use Microsoft's much-exploited Internet Explorer, be SURE to have this patch installed. Late Friday, October 3rd, Microsoft finally released another cumulative patch for their often-exploited Internet Explorer. This patch repairs another CRITICAL vulnerability which has had the Internet security community quite worried. Without this patch, malicious code can be downloaded into your system and executed when visiting a malicious web site or simply receiving and previewing or opening malicious eMail. Exploits of this serious vulnerability have been found "in the wild" so this is no longer a "theoretical" vulnerability. These links will take you to Microsoft's pages to retrieve the patches: http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/MS03-040.asp http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-040.asp This is something you'll want to do sooner rather than later.  Courtesy of  Gibson Research. 5:09:19 PM      comment ?
