Don't download the newest patch! Not yet anyway.
CNet.com has an update on the IE security patches, but there are some open issues that Microsoft needs to patch. A patch to a patch. :-)
Microsoft.com put out an update to Windows PC's running IE 6 with Service Pack 1 called the MS06-042 update.
However, a new problem showed up. A new fix will be released because of the way IE handles long web addresses. Hackers can take advantage of this long web address problem by luring people to unknown web sites, allowing a user to take complete control of your PC.
Microsoft will be releasing a new update to the MS06-042 patch soon.
