You need to scan for *.nws files, too.  Micro$oft has service packs and 
patches out for versions of IE prior to 6.  Unfortunately, applying them will 
break the ability to use netscape plugins with IE (i.e. quicktime, etc).  

Ironically, M$ has a technical document on the plugins being disabled.  They 
state it is that way by design!
