That wasn't really my point.

I was just saying that this is a non-Microsoft solution. Installing non-MS
patches is not recommended practice at any time.

According to online reports the security community is divided. Some say,
install the non-MS patch now. Others say wait for Microsoft.

As others have posted here, it's a judgement call for PC
owners/administrators.

The software vendor advises waiting a few more days while they test their
patch.

I'm in the camp which will wait for the MS patch.
