Comments on: Microsoft posts work-around for IE flaw

Company pushes patch that turns off insecure ActiveX component, while continuing to investigate a more comprehensive fix.

Are you sure?

I find absolutely no reference to ADODB.screen anywhere on MSDN. Could it be the object is ADODB.stream? It makes sense.

What took so long?

This was a known hole in a previous version of IE and then fixed but only to reappear again. They knew how to fix before, YET, it took MS 9 months to release a patch and then tell us it is only for the interm.

Well, I think it is time to use an alternative browser and if a site doesn't work with it then I won't visit the site.

If it is a bank that only supports IE then I won't bank their because that tells me security and my privacy aren't important to them. These banks know that IE is swiss cheese and yet they still require customers to use IE to do their online banking.

At least I know my money in the mattress is safe than at the bank relying on all of MS for their system and applications.

Why Would You Even?

I don't know why anyone would use IE. It's just about useless.
You can't have tabbed browsing, no buit in pop up blocker oh,
and it's not safe at all. If you don't know where to get Mozilla
Firefox (which is the best one) just go to www.mozilla.org. Don't
use IE.
