Windows Update offers a fix for another flaw as of 3/July

[LuckyStrike]

There has been some issue brought to my attention since the 2nd of July
regarding How to disable the ADODB.Stream object from Internet Explorer.
This was only made available by a manual method for W9.x systems up until
late today. Now if one accesses Windows Updates it should detect the need
for this patch for the OS in question.

object from Internet Explorer - Win9x (KB870669)

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows
ME

Windows-KB870669-x86-ENU.exe

Heh! Lucky YOU! Mines under my desk right now growling, and reminding me
she's there if my foot gets too close by giving me a healthy sample of
her... YEOOWWW!! ..
....claws on my bare feet!! The neighbors are gone for the weekend, and
their poor dog was trying to tear my backdoor down to get in. So...I now
have the two of them, both under my desk......each declaring their turf
under there.......and in order not to become a victim in any crossfire of
territorial disputes, I've now put my feet up on the chair with me. Makes
it a bit difficult to type around my knees, but, it's only for the next half
hour...or so...I think....hope. 8-o <------ my expression ...

Lucky, here is a thread in the AumHa Forum (I'm a member there too), and you
might find it rather interesting. This is involving something new out there,
and it is proving to be a real bane of the first water even for the guru's.
I have been following and it is very enlightening. Thought you might like
to take a peek too.

Thanks for the QT on that Jan. <s> It will take some very close reading to
see *exactly* what this one is about. Meanwhile, three pages of some of the
brainier anti-spyware sleuths to get anywhere with it. That says a lot about
how shifty and devious this particular one is. Hrrrmmmphh. :-\

Why....I read it just fine. All my boss's have been South Paws and very
poor typists, so I'm pretty good at decoding. 'Sides, the Mines was just a
typo for Mine's. But, truth be, before the night was over, it may as well
have been mines under my desk. I'm lucky I survived. Every time one of the
big firecrackers went off, they literally swapped places in mid air. Just
about the time they decided to vacate my 'footlocker', someone set off a
Cherry bomb just up the street, and those two nearly knocked me out of my
chair diving for cover back under my desk. Sheee....when the neighbors came
home this afternoon, I took them the repair bill for my back door. :/

Well..hope you are feeling better by now.......and that you had a great
holiday..

Huh? Sometimes.... Is there something I should know? I only received some
*Spam* from a "Lose 10 pounds overnight". I'd lose a lot more than that if
spam was all there was to munch on. :-D

Just go ahead and tell me: my "joke" on mines backfired...yep...it blew up
right in my face. %-| <g>

Heh! Rude and loud neighbors take it on the lam and disappear 'til the heat
blows over.

Yeah thanks... the 5 gallon Coffee decanter helped me get through it. <g>
