I have downloaded the most recent virus definitions that include ths Swen virus. I have already applied the MS03-032 patch for IE that was released by Microsoft in August. Since MS03-032 is a cumulative patch, does it fix the vulnerability that Swen exploits? Do I need to do anything further to secure my network?

Thanks.

Matt.

The exploit this virus takes advantage of was patched back in April, 2001 (MS01-020/-027). The software affected was IE 5.01 and 5.5. Unless you are still using one of these versions, and have never updated them, you should be in the clear.
