Just a reminder that Microsoft has released an update for Internet Explorer.

This update is coming out of the band (meaning it's not part of the second Tuesday of the month cycle of update) because it's an important update - there are reports of malicious activities already using the vulnerability covered by this update.

In my experience Windows Server 2008 64 bit do not require a restart. All other versions will require a reboot.

Another reason to use Firefox Wink. I'm sure most of you guys use both anyway.

Thanks for the update freitasm.

You will need the update even if you use Firefox.

You'll be needing the latest version of Firefox too then, to patch its 4 critical vunerabilities.
