>>> Microsoft's VML Security Advisory - "Vulnerability in Vector Markup

>>> How to temporarily protect your system:
>>> As detailed in Microsoft's VML security advisory (see link above), you

>>> quickly, easily, and safely protect your system from possible VML

>>> Simply copy this command from this page (highlight the entire line then
>>> type Ctrl-C to Copy it into the clipboard), then open the "Run..." dialog
>>> by pressing your system's Start button and choosing "Run..." Press
>>> "Backspace" to remove anything that might already be in the "Open" field,
>>> then type "Ctrl-V" to paste the command into the field. Press "OK" to

>>> regsvr32 -u "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"

>>> How to "re-register" the VGX.DLL:
>>> Once Microsoft has repaired this defect, which should happen no later
>>> than
>>> the second Tuesday in October (Oct. 10th) - and after you have applied
>>> those October security updates - you should re-register the repaired
>>> VGX.DLL file by repeating the steps above, but using a command without

>>> "-u" argument, as follows:
>>>
>>>
>>> regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"
>>> At that time, please also remind anyone you may have helped to protect
>>> themselves through un-registering the DLL to re-register it AFTER they
>>> have updated their system with the current October patches.
>>> Windows 2000 Compressed File Corruption
>>> . . . or as Microsoft's official update page is titled: "Compressed files
>>> that are larger than 4 kilobytes may be corrupted when you create or
>>> update the files." A serious "regression" error was introduced into last
>>> month's (August 2006) security patches for Windows 2000 systems. This
>>> error can cause corruption of NTFS-compressed files on systems that have
>>> had security update 920958 (MS06-049) applied.
>>>
>>> If you are using Windows 2000 (any flavor) and keeping it current with
>>> monthly security patches, you should IMMEDIATELY apply this patch to cure
>>> the error that was introduced in August's security update:
>>>
>>> Obtain the Windows2000-KB925308-x86-ENU.EXE package now.
>>>
>>> And, again, please inform anyone you know, who is using Windows 2000,
