DON'T DOWNLOAD IE5 -- YET! Major screwup!

[Robert Beard]

I've been using MSIE 5.0 for about a year now on both a dial-up and LAN
connection without any problem.  By the way, it outperforms Netscape
Communicator 4.51 in Java interpretation, general speed, accessing the
dial-up connection although it does not interpret tables as well as
Communicator.

Far more bothersome, however, is the new virus that attacks the MSIE
mail client, Outlook Express.  If you are using this mail client and
receive an attached MS Word document from someone you don't know, you
might want to approach the attachment with caution.   Microsoft and
Intel have both had to close down their corporate e-mail for a day to
clear out this virus, which apparently does no greater harm than
propagating porno advertising to the top 50 people in your Outlook
Express address book.
