Incorrect, Jim. Users should wait for the official patch, and not risk (1)
going to some web site not connected with Microsoft, and (2) not installing
some "patch" or other software on their machine from an unknown source.

As noted in the security bulletin issued, there are specific instances where
this violation of a computer can take place, and they include being lured to
a web site.

Protection of the computer will come with intelligent computer usage,
including not visiting an unknown site for a "fix" not coming directly from
Microsoft.
