  Subject: [RT] Security Alert -- Windows 
  Help System bug
  
  The Windows Help System comes with each O/S and includes active X 
  capability that hackers can exploit by sending you email with a loaded 
  attachment. It allows them the opportunity to gain control over your 
  computer.  Here are patches from Microsoft:
   
  One caution about these is that 
  these patches are not "idiot proof."  The last one I 
  installed disabled one of my programs and I had to "restore" in order to 
  get back to normal. * Windows 98
