HACKERS EXPLOIT "PATCHED" MICROSOFT BROWSER

Last month Microsoft released patches for vulnerabilities identified with Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, 6.0, and version 6.0 of Windows Server 2003. The vulnerabilities allow an attacker to run malicious code on a PC if the user navigated to the attacker's Web site.

Unfortunately, the patches issued by Microsoft don't work. Gregg Keizer at TechWeb News details the problem and identifies alternate fixes here.

In a related story, some users are thinking about dumping Microsoft because of "patch-fatigue."
