Good morning everyone, I am pleased to announce that the IE Cumulative Security Update for May 2007 is now available via Windows Update. Alternatively, you can receive this and all other Microsoft updates via the new Microsoft Update. I encourage you to upgrade to Microsoft Update if you haven’t already to ensure that you receive the latest updates for all Microsoft products.
This update addresses 6 remote code execution vulnerabilities. For detailed information on the contents of this update, please see the following documentation:
This update is rated “Critical” for IE 5.01, IE 6 Service Pack 1 on Windows 2000, IE 6 for Windows XP, and IE 7 on Windows XP and Windows Vista. For Windows 2003 Server with IE6 or IE7, this update is rated “Moderate” due to Enhanced Server Configuration.
As a reminder, IE security updates are cumulative and contain all previously released updates for each version of Internet Explorer.
I encourage everybody to download this security update and other non-IE security updates via Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Windows users are also strongly encouraged to configure their systems for automatic updates to keep their systems current with the latest updates from Microsoft.

In the Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary , the information below is provided on the updates for May,
for IE security,
when will you autoupdate IE7?
please say to me.
when will you autoupdate IE7 of china, korea ?
please !!!!
The security update changed my default browser from FireFox to IE: it should not have done this.
Charles, you're not alone (I wondered why it did that, and it's not the first time either). I had some additional problems afterwards, where I tried to run programs only to see them not doing anything (including trying to launch task manager from the CTRL-ALT-DEL screen seen when that friendly crap is turned off). After several minutes everything suddenly happened and I had like 8 task managers come up. SQL Management Studio, Visual Studio, Outlook, Notepad... Only one that that seemed to open was cmd.exe and other console applications (e.g. taskkill, tasklist, tskill). Something seemed to be nailing the processor because the textboxes were taking forever to respond in the applications that were running before that ... thing happened.
I've had that... freeze thing happen on several computers and I'm curious if anyone here has any idea what that is (ShellExecuteEx not working right because of some hold up somewhere?)

IE is autoupdated via Windows Update. Updates are automatically downloaded and installed without user interaction
Just to applied the latest patch with Windows Update. Thanks so much for turning my English IE7 half Chinese (Main UI, menu, search settings) and half English (most of the Internet options pages).
when will you autoupdate IE7 in korea,china and japan?
early in april?
early in may?
early in jun?
So IE 5.01 is still used and is important enough that you put out security updates for it, but it's not important enough that you think a VM for developers to test in makes sense?
And where is the love for IE 5.5? Doesn't that need updates?
After applying the cumulative patch (kb931768) for IE7, it gets lost if faced with more than one Tab.
It just seems to get lost. Sometimes it can be killed with it's Close widget. Sometimes even TaskMan cannot kill it, and one must logoff/logon.
Aaaaccckkkk!!!

There is no VM to test with IE 5.5 or 5.01 because they're both -old versions-. Old as in shouldn't be used any longer.
The only reason people don't always update is because everyone wants to support every single browser out there. There is no need to update if everyone is still out there trying to support you, is there?
Software gets old, and needs updates. IE is free to update. If someone is unwilling to keep their system up to date, why would I want to do business with them?
I have IE 7 performance issue after installing security update for IE 7(KB931768). It seem that memory usage has gotten higher for IE 7 and has been freezing, never had this before. Can you please check if there is a performance issue when installing this security update?
I also notice that when several tabs is open IE 7 would show some of the tabs as a separate IE 7 windows meaning the tab is showing up in the taskbars.
Ever since I got this update yesterday(KB931768), I cannot clear my Browsing History in IE7. Where do I go for support?
for got to mention that I'm using Window Vista Internet Explorer 7. Those issue need to be fix.
When shouldn't this update install on Windows Vista 32bit? (If you have another update this makes a fail situation..)
