IE Update

Dec 7, 2003 5:42PM PST

When I brought up IE 6 I got a window with a Microsoft Title asking to download an IE update. I cancelled and it came back the next time. I assume this is something bad. If it's already been reported, I couldn't find it.

Didn't see a number. My reason for posting is that I have been led to believe that Microsoft does not do stuff like that. It is up to us to do Windows Update or have it set to update itself.

auggief, If you don't want to see that again open Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options/Advanced tab and under "Browsing" uncheck "Automatically check for Internet Explorer Updates", click Apply, click OK.
