[RT] Security Alert -- patches for JAVA VM (inside IE)

[MikeSuesserott@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Mark,

thanks for your note which is appreciated, as always. Just for the sake of
clarity, this warning refers to the very obsolete Microsoft VM, not to Sun's
up-to-date one. Rather than installing this Microsoft "update" which is
really a "backdate", I would strongly recommend installing the current Java
VM from the Sun site which is not only up-to-date but also does not suffer
from these security problems.

As you may be aware, Microsoft has long stopped supporting any new versions
of Java in IE.

The latest - and secure - Java VM may be downloaded at
http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

Best regards,

Michael Suesserott
