I discovered that my internet explorer crashes very often since I
installed KB918899 on my XP professional SP1 system and I had to
uninstall it, but now I am more vulnerable because this is a critical
patch.

A new version of security update 918899 is currently in development and
will be released to all Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
customers by August 22, 2006. The new update will be available on the
Microsoft Download Center and by using Windows Update.

Customers who are using any version of Internet Explorer other than
Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 together with any Windows version
are not affected by this release and do not have to take any action.
We recommend that customers who are not experiencing this issue
continue to deploy security update 918899 in their environments to
receive protection from the vulnerabilities that are documented in
security bulletin MS06-042.

Customers who experience this issue should apply the new security update
when it is available. Customers who want to avoid the issue before the
new security update is available may apply hotfix 923762.

Keep in mind that for those running Windows XP SP1, upgrading to
Windows XP SP2 is an alternative - having in mind that official
support by MS for Windows XP <SP2 will end in October 2006, you
already know what to do...
