New month new set of "fixes" to install ... 
However, MS has one "fix" most people do NOT need to install ... it is to comply with some silly patent infringement ruling won by Eolas and the University of California over the use of certain patents in the browser.

Stuff 'em, DO NOT INSTALL THE UPDATE ... we don't live in America.
Why? Well the dam thing buggers up Firefox (and to some extent IE) and calls on you to issue another "fix" from http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/
Explanation of what changes are in Internet Explorer Update

Windows has become tortuously annoying.
Make sure that update is ignored/hidden on customer PCs so they won't even see it if they go to Windows Update.
We'll have to thank Big Brother for allowing these wonderful software patents to make our lives richer. This demonstrates just how ridiculous software patents are. Corrupt *******s.
Enjoy!
