Everything is on that page !

Affected Software:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0
- Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

What you then choose to download will be based upon the OS you have.

g'day david,

i'm sure win98 updates were easier to understand and decipher.

anyhow went to those 2 files clicked the download button, and saved
download. tried installing neither will install because it says i
don't have asp.net framework or certain sp's aren't loaded.

now i got no idea what asp.net is all about as far as i know i don't
deliberately use it.

No mention of Microsoft so ignore what Trend Housecall called a vulnerability.

However, you do need to correct the above !
Each vulnerability is vector of infection if used by an exploit.

Did you go to Add/Remove Programs and check to see if the older versions
were still installed? I did, and found two old versions of Sun Java,
and also an old version of Macromedia Flash Player. I'm not quite sure
why the updates don't uninstall the older versions, but obviously they
don't. The only problem I had was it found Winxip 8.0 and my version of
Winzip is 9.0.
