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.
