Steve doesn't address it on the webpage; perhaps it was in the program. How compatible will the hotfix be with the service update coming down the pipe from Microsoft? I'm leery about installing a fix that will lock up a later patch.

You can just un-register the dll responsible for the flaw and turn it back on later when Microsoft does release a patch.

I don't know; I'm not a techie. It DOES tell you how to un-install it, however, so you should do that first anyway. I should point out that I'm not even sure this is the same horrible Windows security flaw; it IS possible for TWO (or even more) MS flaws to have just been discovered at the same time!

There are instructions for removing the patch when MS comes out with their patch. IIRC, it's fairly painless.
