Re: IE 6 SP1

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

There are some PC display IE update version: SP1; Q823353.

And what Windows versions are these machine, please? If they're WinXP machines, they've not had any critical updates installed in years; furthermore, it tells us it's WinXP SP1 which is no longer supported.

Q823353 tells us that MS04-018 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-018.mspx; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823353) is installed. The absence of anything other than "SP1; Q823353" tells us that no other post-SP1 critical updates are installed, including WinXP SP2.

May I know what Q823353 is about? I cannot find the fix list for Q823353
from internet which is related to IE.

Naming convention confusions. WinXP SP2 includes a customized version of
IE6 SP1 which /some/ call IE6 SP2. This version is only available by
installing WinXP SP2.

My current IE version is:

Version: 6.0.2800.1106.xp.sp2.030422-1633
Update Version: SP1

Running under Windows XP SP2.

May I know how can I update IE version to SP2??

I think you already have SP2 for IE6 - (sp2.030422-1633)
My understanding of this is -
the latest update offered for IE6 is KB939653 - this
includes all previously released patches and eliminates newly discovered
vulnerabilities. More details can be found in the Microsoft support
document KB931768. Microsoft advises all users to download and install
this update to protect your system against security threats.
A cumulative update means that all previous bug fixes have been included
in
the same package, so there is no need to worry about which update may
already be on your system.
Released October 2007 in the Black Tuesday updates.
