I know there has been an issue with IE6.0 ... and there is a patch. For more
information go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/q316059/default.asp

and a link will take you to:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/
bulletin/MS02-005.asp

It was mainly to do with a vulnerability issue with their Instant Messenger
that hackers could obtain and take over your IM account.

I hope this helps.
