Chris Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Microsoft this month will be pushing out Internet Explorer 7 to Windows users who download security updates through Microsoft Update or Automatic Updates. Last week, Security Fix mentioned that Microsoft intends to ship 11 patches tomorrow, including a "high-priority update." According to a post on the company's IE blog, that high-priority update could be IE7, a long overdue upgrade to IE 6 that includes new security features and other enhancements that most other Web browsers have long possessed. A Microsoft spokesperson declined to say whether IE7 would be released tomorrow, saying only that it would be released sometime this month.IE 7 includes tabbed browsing, built in RSS feeds, as well as tools to help users spot phishing Web sites that mimic banks and trusted e-commerce companies to steal personal and financial data. The new IE also shores up some weaknesses in ActiveX, a feature designed to help Web sites load interactive content (ActiveX has been abused with such abandon by spyware purveyors to install their junk programs that some security researchers have taken to calling it "HacktiveX").More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 When they say "pushing out" do they mean it is going to be one of the updates or have we got a choice to reject it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I tried the Beta version and had some minor problems. I hope that these are now sorted out. I will create another back up before installing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
