Have a look at this (computerworld.co.nz) article from IDG, to find out more. If you are still using IE & OE it may be time to consider your options. It would also seem reasonable, that if MS can't fix the problem, that the windows update site could be used with other browsers than IE. Cheers Murray P	Murray P (44)

211130	2004-01-30 00:17:00	Mozilla Firebird (my browser of choice) was fine but IE was spoofed completely with no alerts from any of the software I have running (PCcillin, Kerio). Was it the AV part of McAfee or firewall that picked it up (does it have a firewall)? Cheers Murray P	Murray P (44)
211131	2004-01-30 00:20:00	BTW this is the Secunia link (www.secunia.com) to the test. Cheers Murray P	Murray P (44)
211132	2004-01-30 00:31:00	The more serious one mentioned in the article is here (secunia.com _Test/).	bmason (508)
211133	2004-01-30 00:36:00	Mine failed miserably. Mr Norton didn’t so much as bat an eyelid! :( Better check if there's any patches I guess!	B.M. (505)
211134	2004-01-30 00:49:00	Aha! Kerio jumped on the second one (thanks Brett). If I let Kerio permit the action, IE had no idea, Mozilla on the other hand displayed the spoofed file in the open/save dialogue box. Verrry interesting. Cheers Murray P	Murray P (44)
211135	2004-01-30 03:22:00	Interesting. IE did what it reckons But Opera 7 goes micro$oft.com some sorta icon secunia and stuff, it asked me if i wanted to goto that address because it contained a username. I didnt do anything with the download tho just blank	MrBeef (342)
