and 5.5 and sp-2 on ME

QuoteIn a second security advisory, Microsoft warned of a problem with overly permissive access controls in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. The problem exists only in versions that do not have the latest service packs installed, the company said.

Thanks mitch :thumbsup:

The details may be found on this Microsoft link (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/913333.mspx)

If you are still using one of the older versions of Internet Explorer (pre 6.x) you may wish to think about upgrading.
