Right now, the best thing to do is not to install the patch. For people who
have already installed it and are experiencing unexpected security prompts,
turning off WordMail as the editor and disabling the applications that are
triggering the prompts are appropriate workarounds to get through the
weekend. Microsoft is well aware of the issues. Stay tuned.
