[LINK] IE vulnerability and the MS recommendation to fix

[Jan Whitaker]

Linkers
Sorry if this is an inappropriate place to raise, but there was 
mention of IE being vulnerable. This is also in the newspaper, with a 
recommendation to install a patch. I seldom use IE, but at times it's 
my only option with some websites.

I downloaded the software, EMET,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2458544
  but it is not exactly user friendly, despite Microsoft's webpage 
saying it is Easy to Use with its GUI. I guess it might be if the 
words made any sense. The status page comes up with a column of green 
ticks for most running processes, but the column below Running EMET 
is completely empty.

I did read the User manual, but what a mess! The technical 'why' is 
presented before getting to the 'how'. A general user in the public 
would throw up their hands. Go to Help and you are presented with a 
discussion forum. To find the settings file to import, even if the 
user understood what import is, you have to find the install 
directory and go in several levels to find the protection settings. 
Why must they make things so hard?

Oh well.
