Scary stuff

I'm running IE6 on W2K and have installed all the patches MS have released (and not touched any of the default settings) and it doesn't work (pops up a message saying I'm patched against the vulnerability) Clearly MS dropped the ball when it comes to security so let's just hope that the latest flurry of patches and new focus on security will finally bring an end to stuff like this. cheers, Chris Maunder
Didn't you experience an MSN Messenger security vulnerability first-hand a while ago Chris? I remember you posted about it. Some bloke butted into your conversation. Simon It's one for you, nineteen for me Sonork ID 100.10024

The problem witrh patches is that users need to install them. I was horrified to learn that out of my friends, none had installed any security updates from Microsoft. None. :omg: ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Sonork ID: 100.9977 Dave Contents of my clipboard: Barclays Visa Connect - 4936-3503-2 -- sh*t, I'd better edit the rest out...

How many friends are this? 1, 2 or 10, 20? and how many of them have a computer? :-) A statistics with just 1, 2 measurements is not _that_ exact. -- See me: www.magerquark.de

I only bother downloading updates for IE etc. I've got w2k, and i'm buggered if i'm downloading that security rollup package they released a few weeks back. Why don't they just call it "The IIS f**k-up fixer package". I just know the installer will detect IIS, and think "ah, he must host a website from here. Ok, download that 900MB patch". Obviously the installer won't think, but you know what I mean. Simon "The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know" - Colin Davies Sonork ID 100.10024

You're right. Eventually though most people will move up to newer versions. I guess I'm saying that Nimda will only be with us for, oh, another 2-3 years. cheers, Chris Maunder

Yeah - but it didn't seem like a deliberate invasion, more an accidental crossing of wires. ie. SNAFU. cheers, Chris Maunder

It's not that bad Simon, really. Just download the patch - it won't hurt at all. You'll feel a lot better. Come - join us brother. Join us... cheers, Chris Maunder

No, I refuse. Download, burn, and mail the CD to me, Chris. Just put "Simon, Wales, UK" on the envelope. It's a small country, so it'll reach me just fine. Simon "The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know" - Colin Davies Sonork ID 100.10024

Hey Chris...I'm running IE 5.5 so I don't know if this security patch applies to me. However it was certainly nice to know, which I wouldn't had it not been for codeproject. In saying so, have you ever considered adding a tech news section, specifically geared towards such hot topics? Perhaps this ins't the intended purpose of this site? Just a suggestion. Have a day!

This is true, but I seen Chris posted a message and I figured maybe my suggestion would have more impact because it would be directly related to the thread. "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr
