Description of Fraudulent VeriSign Digital Certificates Patch

Fix the security hole that allows an individual to fraudulently send a VeriSign certificate that looks as if it comes from Microsoft. When you download a program off the Web, its digital certicate guarantees that it comes from the company it says it comes from. Using the stolen certificates, a cracker could send you a Trojan horse, a virus, or another nasty piece of code that presents itself as an approved Microsoft program.

Note that this update will need to be reinstalled if you upgrade to another currently available version of Windows or Internet Explorer. Versions of Windows beginning with Windows XP Gold and Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, as well as Internet Explorer version 6 or later, will not require the update to be reinstalled.
