Microsoft to Issue Out-of-Cycle Patch for IE

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the download-reboot-repeat dept.

rsw writes "Microsoft will be breaking their normal patch cycle and issuing a patch for the Download.Ject attack (a.k.a. Scob). They claim that the forthcoming patch will be a "long-term solution to the core vulnerability" exploited by Scob." Note that this does not mean that they are replacing IE with FireFox.

      or click "preferences" and check the "light" box, scroll to the bottom, hit "save". streamlines the page. you'll get used to it after a few days, then the old /. layout will just look klunky.

      I haven't seen the nasty icons since '99 or so. Except when their database server dies and I'm no longer logged in. Faster and at least 50% less ugly.
