Temporary fix for latest IE security problem

As posted yesterday. Internet Explorer in Windows XP systems is being subjected to attacks from infected Web sites that exploit a security hole in an ActiveX component. You can disable ActiveX yourself or you can use a Microsoft site to do it for you. Go to this Microsoft “Fix-it” page.

The MS fix disabled my “Send To>Mail Recipient” by deselecting Thunderbird as my default email program – took some Google work to fix that.

Ugh.

Got to run, but respond if more would be helpful – thanks for the great blog

Thanks for your comment and the information about Thunderbird. Let us know if the “fix” caused any other problems.
