The answer to your first question is 'yes' - it does suffer from the vulnerabilities of the underlying browser engine (firefox or IE). In terms of patching, a new version was released within the past week that the browser should have detected and prompted you to download and install. This new version addresses the firefox engine and possibly some of the non-engine components, since the IE components would get updated by MS as part of their normal patch cycle. --- Benjamin Tomhave, CISSP, IAM, IEM falcon () secureconsulting net http://falcon.secureconsulting.net/ http://www.linkedin.com/pub/0/622/964 "We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens, whatever their background.
