Hi all,

Be aware that if you have recently updated Win 98 or
Win98SE using windows update and you see this Attack  
" 0.0.0.0. Filter failed" or just notice that BlackIce
is not giving any alerts.One of the recent MS update
patches renders Black ICE TOTALLY useless and your
computer totally exposed to HaCkERs. Black Ice
Defender must be updated to correct this MAJOR
security hole.

Also, It appears that the BlackIce update function in
the BI program will not update using netscape as your
default browser. Netscape says  after the DL is
completed "insufficent system resources to install" .
I had to go to the NetworIce web site to DL the
upgrade
patch and launch the patch manually.

BTW Latest Version = 1.9.4
