"Out of band" patch release for IE coming out tomorrow..
« on: December 16, 2008, 11:18:11 PM »
Hi malware fighters,

Again this year Microsoft is releasing an emergency out of band patch for the serious hole in their Internet Explorer browser. This seems planned for to-morrow: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-dec.mspx

Hi bob3160,

Actually it should, but on the other hand with a patch we get at a complete news situation, don't we?
