Microsoft Releases Eight Security Updates
Juha-Matti Laurio writes "After a very uncommon break in March Microsoft has just published 8 new security updates. Almost all updates that are a part of the monthly release cycle are rated as 'Critical.' New Windows Shell vulnerability, named as MS05-016 is only 'Important,' but Windows XP Service Pack 2 is affected too, however. This is not the first time when there was something to fix at Shell32.dll.
Vulnerabilities in TCP/IP that could allow remote code execution and denial of service at cumulative bulletin MS05-019 are affecting SP2 too.
Windows Kernel, Exchange, MSN Messenger, Word (Office) and Internet Explorer get their updates as well."
...now you must have a licensed registered copy on winders or else you are SOL, nice they waited until now to release them...btw...when you upgrade to the new winders update stuff, which checks to make sure you dont have a pirated/illegal copy (whatever THAT means), and you try to do it through Firefox, you have to reboot, and guess what, IE is now your default browser....

yep, and like every operating system - it won't be the last...
That's funny. I just did an ls for Shell32.dll, but didn't find it on my SuSE box. Should I download and install the file anyway?
Care to back up your statements with some links to stories of problems caused by exploits occuring before the announcement? No of course not - you can't. You should be moderated troll, not insightful.
