I start to believe, microsoft release those patches to update its usage statistics or testing something new  not for the security issues  honestly..


many programmers work for them.. and I dont think for every security patch they only correct a small segment of code..  up to now they could rewrite these codes from scratch a million times..

and another probability is that they really correct some code (which was not wrong) to be compatible with a new software they already finished

Reading through that link I notice there is a Fix patch available to download.

What do all of you computer experts think of that?  Should it be downloaded?  What side effects could it cause?

Please do not forget you are dealing here with a (very worried) IT dunce!!


EDIT:  I have Firefox and F-Secure loaded and active on my system.

Yep, they have to correct code that has accidentally become compatible with something that Apple or the open source movement have developed.

I would start the ball rolling by firing Ms Gunn :-?

I never use Intenet Explorer, its slow, crap, rubbish.

Firefox or Chrome for me

Chrome here, its bookmark syncing is excellent. Syncs between any computer and any operating system, very handy.
