272616 2004-09-15 05:58:00 I just got an email from Microsoft letting me know of updates.

SECURITY UPDATE SUMMARY FOR SEPTEMBER 2004
Microsoft has released critical and important security updates
for technologies that affect several versions of Microsoft Windows,
Microsoft Office programs, developer tools, and imaging software.


LEARN MORE
To learn about these updates and which software is affected,
review
these notices on Microsoft.com:
go.microsoft.com
go.microsoft.com


One of these is a Security update for IE6 Service Pack 1 , which I have installed (even though I almost exclusively use Firefox).

The upgrade was KB833989 and was 1 Mg.

Anyone not getting email notification might like to check for upgrades themselves.
cheers
