Microsoft fix some holes

Has your windows been updated yet? There have been six security patches to fix some flaws that could leave your computer open to outside attack!

The update was all contained in a single fix, which was partly for the IE7 browser. What this patch does is block any attempt to place fake content like addresses in the address bar, this is becoming a common feature in phishing, as a simple way to detect a fake sight would be to hold the pointer over the link to see the address, but fakers can make this change.

Hackers and Microsoft continue to battle, while we the user sit back and hope the good guys win!
