Latest IE patch to actually help windows users? I'll be a little skeptic

I think with news about IE's latest security patch actually helping with such things as Channelinsider.com reveals in this blog post


Like the fact, "solution providers can use the patch as an opportunity to fix browsers, tune up systems and install better security protections.".. 

...this still means the system has to be set up to accept the "automatic download" which can be a security risk itself.

As much as it is important for your windows operating system to be up to date with all the security patches available, having a knowledgeable way of being sure you are up to date and that is where Belarc Advisor shines.  This also means you can feel good about turning off any 'automatic updates'.

If you are going to read the first part of this, be sure to also read the second part where it is explained on how this patch opens the opportunities.
