  Mark:
   
  Thanks for the security alert.
   
  Just to let any others on the list know, I went to the 
  windows update page that checks for all available updates that are applicable 
  to your system, and this one did not even show - even though I recently 
  installed the IE 5.5 Security Pack 2 in mid November!  I guess I am going 
  to have to stop trusting the IE windows update page, and start scanning each 
  individual product update page for updates.

    Subject: [RT] Security Alert -- a web 
    page can force software onto your computer
    On 13-DEC-01, Microsoft posted a Security Bulletin about 
    a new security vulnerablity with IE 5, IE 6 and Outlook.  In short, 
    ....1. A malicious web page could force your computer to download 
    files and install them without your knowledge, automatically.2. A 
    web page could pop up a dialog box displaying a message that you are about 
    to download a file with a phony filename.  This way the surfer may 
    think he is downloading readme.txt, while the real filename is 
    virus.exe3. The source of the file can be blocked out, preventing 
    you from knowing where the souce file is located.4. This 
    vulnerability can also be exploited through Microsoft Outlook (which uses IE 
    to display HTML e-mails). Simply previewing an HTML e-mail in Outlook is 
    enough to allow a hacker to install arbitrary code onto your 
    system.For more information, go here ....<A

    you are running IE 5.5 or 6, you can get the Microsoft patch here ...
