  Hi all,

  The above patch is in response to the April 10th Security Update at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2664258, describing a vulnerability "in MSCOMCTL.OCX could allow Remote Code Execution". This leads to another link for the patch at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983808.

  However, THIS states that "computer must be restarted"... !!!!

  Has anyone done this recently, and were there any issues? Also, how do you tell whether to use the GDR or QFE?

  Cheers,

  JB

  I have not installed this patch yet, but this article is a good explanation of the answer to the GDR vs. QFE question
