Security Updates for Internet Explorer
Security Update, April 2, 2001
This update resolves the
"Erroneous VeriSign-Issued Digital Certificates Pose Spoofing Hazard" security
vulnerability, and is discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-017.
Download now to prevent
an unauthorized user from running code on your computer by digitally signing
programs as "Microsoft Corporation."
Security Update, March 29, 2001
This vulnerability exists
because Internet Explorer does not handle MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions) headers in HTML e-mails correctly. If a malicious user sends
an affected HTML e-mail or hosts an affected e-mail on a Web site, and
a user opens the e-mail or visits the Web site, Internet Explorer automatically
runs the excecutable on the user's computer. If this occurs, the executable
can take any action on the computer that the user can take, including adding,
changing, or deleting data, communicating with Web sites, or reformatting
the hard drive. This update eliminates the vulnerability by correcting
the way Internet Explorer handles MIME headers in HTML e-mails, preventing
e-mails from automatically launching executable attachments.

Volume Control
Today, many people can control
the volume (sound) for their computer by using buttons that are on their
keyboard. But, Windows itself does have a volume control. On the right
hand side of the taskbar near the clock there should be a SPEAKER icon.
If you click once with the left mouse button it will open up a small
window that has a slider bar for adjusting the volume. Notice, there is
also a place to MUTE all of the sound that comes from your computer (it
is muted if there is a checkmark in this box). If you click twice on the
speaker icon with the left mouse button it will open up the controls
for all of the various sound outputs of your computer (master CD wave
midi, etc.).
