Microsoft Releases Critical Internet Explorer Fix

Friday December 3, 2004
Back on November 8, the second Tuesday of the month, when Microsoft released their Security Bulletins and patches for the month of November, they did not address the iFrame (or HTML Elements) vulnerability which was already being actively exploited by a new variant of the MyDoom worm (later re-dubbed "Bofra" by some antivirus vendors). This week they released a new Security Bulletin out of their normal cycle. The patch is a ranked as Critical by Microsoft and is a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer which also fixes the iFrame vulnerability. For more information see December 2004 Microsoft Security Bulletins

all these free sites that advertise “download for FREE” are a scam to get you to get bit, you still have to buy the product in order for them to work, “THEY ARE NOT FREE AS ADVERTISED”

What does the comment have to do with this post? Or- are you referring to the Sponsored Links below the post? Those links are ads from paying sponsors and are outside of my control. I certainly recommend that anyone who clicks on those links remember the basic premise of ‘buyer beware’ and do their due diligence, but don’t ever expect something for nothing.
