Here is a patch for Microsoft Explore ver. 4.0 & 5.0 to take care of the
BubbleBoy virus. In case you haven't heard of BubbleBoy, it is harmless but
points out the security "weakness" of IE 4.0 & 5.0. Some more devious person
could use this weakness to severely cripple a computer system/network.
"This Microsoft patch for Internet Explorer 4.0 and 5.0 eliminates security
vulnerabilities in two ActiveX controls, scriptlet.typelib and Eyedog.
These vulnerabilities have been exploited by the Bubbleboy virus, an Internet
worm that uses MS Outlook to send itself through email to
everyone in the address book. Unlike previous worms, which execute when you open
an email attachment, Bubbleboy executes as
soon as you open the email. Installing this Internet Explorer patch will prevent
the execution of the Bubbleboy worm.
System Requirements
MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher and Windows 95 or Windows 98"
