Big security problem hits Windows, Internet Explorer



JUST IN CASE you don't know, Internet Explorer and Windows need frequent patching, a software term for kind of fixing things, an awful lot.
Secunia said that there is a highly critical problem with IE and Windows, due to a boundary error which can be exploited by others.

It warns that the hole affects Windows 95, 98, ME and NT 4.0, as well as 2000 and Windows XP.

This is a serious problem and Secunia reckons one way round it is to disable Client for Microsoft Networks for NICs.

This is a bit of a problem if you're trying to share files.

The INQ!

And according to M$ was this problem solved! If you run XP SP1 this should have been fixed, now it appears not to be...
Shame.
Then again this is according to AMDZone, but it seems to me as they are right (allthough the KB article referred to relates only partly to this problem).
