I would download this, but my diligent browser will not install the windows update active-x control because it (and I quote) Cannot verify the publisher ...I really hate the new MS trend of dumbing things down to the point of making the products useless... it won't let me change the stupid IE security level either... grrrr (why bother having an admin account at all?)strike 1, can't use windows updatestrike 2, can't change security levelsone more and I'm going to Linux for good......

The patch has now been posted by Microsoft. To install it, use Internet Explorer, and select Windows Update from the Tools menu. It comes up as a High Priority update to install.
