Re: IE Stuff

[Krevnik]

There isn't any patch beyond that for OS X if I recall correctly. The 
e-mail viruses require VBScript (Visual Basic Script) support to run... 
and Microsoft didn't consider the Mac a viable platform for VBScript. 
So, because they felt we were not worth dumping an extra scripting 
language on, we avoid the e-mail virii.

I just delete them, and I understand that this current virus and others
don't usually affect Macs.
But I also keep IE 5.2.2 in the Dock and use it now and then for 
particular
sites that require it (business info).

Is there a "patch" that I must add to the above version (I've never 
done
so), and if so, where would I go to download it? I searched around and 
just
don't get anywhere.

Thanks, Tivo
