COMMAND

    MS Internet Explorer

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    Win95, NT 4.0 with IE 3.02 and 4.0 (preview 1 for UNIX too)

PROBLEM

    When you connect to a site that requires basic user authentication
    information (name and password), and the Web site redirects you to
    another   Web   site,   your   authentication   information  could
    potentially be  captured by  the second  Web site.  It can only be
    captured if  the Web  site has  malicious intent  and uses special
    techniques to obtain the authentication information.

SOLUTION

    Download the patch below for your version of Internet Explorer  to
    get the easy and complete fix for the Page Redirect problem:
