Bugs and Fixes: Problems All Around With Microsoft Software

Stuart J. Johnston

In Brief

New IE Update

Microsoft released its umpteenth cumulative patch for IE (labeled 828750), which includes fixes for several new security holes.

Access Attacks

If you use Microsoft's Snapshot Viewer to look at data from an Access database, you need a patch to keep snoops from peeking at your data.

IBM Recall

Big Blue is recalling approximately 118,000 G51 and G51t 15-inch CRT monitors built between June 1997 and September 1998, due to a fire hazard. Browse to IBM's site to learn how to tell whether your monitor should be inspected--and possibly repaired.
