"A security hole in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser can cause the browser to automatically open HTML e-mail attachments that could be used by an attacker to execute malicious code, the company has warned.

The flaw exists in versions 5.01 and 5.5 of the browser and affects how Internet Explorer processes attachments to HTML e-mail encoded with the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard, Microsoft said in a security bulletin posted to its Web site Thursday. "

Mark: I installed the zonealarm and it's working!
On top of that, the price was right! . . . Zero - FREE!

I have experienced a site trying to get to my NETBIOS. . . I selected NO for disallow. . . so far so good.

Thank you very much!
