When computer code that exploits this IE flaw was first posted online last week, Microsoft was quick to point out that it had only seen the code working reliably against IE6 users. Type Internet Options in the Windows search bar or open Internet Explorer and click Internet Options. Under Browsing History, click Delete and Delete again when prompted. Click OK and close Internet Options/Internet Explorer. However, researchers now claim that the exploit can also be made to work against IE7 and even IE8 - the latest version of IE that ships with Windows 7 systems. The fixes included in this patch aren’t limited to the publicly disclosed flaw: Microsoft has addressed seven other vulnerabilities in this patch as well.
REALPLAYER DOWNLOADER NOT WORKING INTERNET EXPLORER 8 PATCH This entry was posted on Thursday 21st of January 2010 03:16 PM More details about this specific update are available at this Microsoft Technet page. Thank you Brian, Solo Owl, xAdmin, and Doug (Aloha! back to you). Your quick responses helped assure me the aged neophytes out here won’t be completely cut off from help now that Security Fix Live is no more (alas!). I ended up using Solo Owl’s method to update last night. But xAdmin’s tip to be logged on as administrator probably saved me some missteps and grief, although I didn’t know if I only needed to be logged on as administrator just to run the downloaded patch, or if I needed administrator rights to download it, too.
I’m not very comfortable trying to figure out when I need to be in my administrator account. Some antimalware programs, for example, require separate updates in each account (and don’t update the other account), and some allow updates to be made in the admin account only (but update the limited account, too).
