I just received a critical update notice from MS about a
patch that resolves the "Unchecked buffer in HTML Help can
lead to code execution." Apparently, someone could use
Active X controls to access my system. My question is, I
have a firewall (Zone Alarm) which always alerts me to
access requests. Do I still need to download/install this
patch? (FYI-I'm genrally leary of patches in all but
worst-case scenarios)
