IE May 2007 Security Update Available Now

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.
