Protect IE without SP2 ? part two
By Brian Livingston
Microsoft's recent release of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP protects
XP users against a variety of hacker attacks, particularly ones that affect
Internet Explorer. SP2 prevents IE users from being subjected to pop-up
windows and silent downloads of software from rogue Web sites, among other
threats.
But what about people who run versions of Windows other than XP?
In the previous issue of the Windows Secrets Newsletter, we explained how to
give users of Windows 2000 and Me protection from pop-up windows. In this
issue, we focus on adding protection against hacked Web sites that can
exploit weaknesses in IE to infect your PC.
Switching browsers can prevent some but not all problems
++ There is more on the web site.
