Just went and got security KB908519 and Removal tool KB890830.

Don't think this is the fix, but go get them anyway...:-)
 
Second Tuesday of each month is the standard day for Microsoft to release
security patches. This is scheduled--admins like having a schedule better
than checking daily and then having to scramble.

If you see a patch offered today, get it.

One of the ways these patches are used, is that the folks on the other side
of the fence attempt to reverse engineer the patches and come up with
exploits to take advantage of the vulnerabilities which are patched by
them--or find related, but still open ones. The time period between
availability of the patch and publication of an exploit for what the patch
fixes is getting shorter each month. Apply the patches early and often.
 
Well I went up there a few times, as I have been waiting for the fix for the
virus, so whatever they offered, I took. I have dialup, so my computer isn't
on at 3 a.m. Usually when there is an update, I get it when I go online, but
like I said, I was checking every couple of hrs. for the fix. These people
out there trying to ruin other people's enjoyment of the net is just down
right cruel. I see no fun in creating things to make other folks miserable.
Oh well, like anything, just have to stay on top as best we can.

Enjoy, and have a great evening...:)
