Rather than wait two more weeks until Patch Tuesday as Microsoft has opted to do, two companies have released
their own unofficial patches for the newly-disclosed Internet Explorer vulnerability that is rapidly being exploited in
the wild. Security firms eEye and Determina have both announced the availability of unofficial hotfixes that they're
touting as temporary solutions until Microsoft gets its act together. Both companies have released the source code of
their patches for review, but installing either is still an at-your-own-risk undertaking. eEye's information and
download page can be found here, and Determina's here.[Via Slashdot]

If you are using one of these versions of Windows then Internet Explorer 6 was not installed by default when you installed the operating system but rather from an upgrade. Since you upgraded to IE6 you have the advantage of having a repair toolthat came with the installation.
