this is probably more important than most folks realized...

the best offense is the best defense. These MS patches are crucial and are usually found by volunteers that check the patches to keep MS honest.

if folks don't have their MS autoupdates turned on. Please go to the MS site to run a test to see if it is secured...

when folks talk about hackers, viruses, threats, our browsers make us more vulnerable than email these days....especiallyy since a lot of us are on high speed...

thanks Roger,

Roger that....

here is the site to MS update. Very easy to use:

click on "express" and they'll do the work for you.

I agree!

I was listening to the news here last night with some Microsoft executive playing down the whole thing. The reporter asked the exec about changing to a different browser and they showed Firefox (wrong question!) and the exec basically laughed and said he wasn't too concerned and was still using IE LOL

DOH.
