Anyone else apply this hotfix and run into issues with restarting and/or Windows2000 dumps??. I've had a couple of people test-install this on Window2000 SP2 w/ IE 6 and since the update have had nothing but problems.....??? <<snipped for content>>
The company was informed about the new variationon November 27th and started working on a patch to correct the flaw. The patch is now out and
downloadable on Microsoft's site at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-058.asp
note that this patch does NOT show up if you click on "Windows Update" in the Start menu; you must go to the above URL to get to the patch. users who treat Windows Update as their method for verifying the state of their system may be in for a suprise.
