I was wondering if there was a security update for Internet Explorer 4.0 and 5.0
that is address in security bulliten MS01-058. I need to know if the problem that occurs in versions 5.5 and 6.0 are also in version 4.0 and 5.0. If anyone has any information I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

The security update started with IE5,with the security being added as 5.01 release
In running the 5.01 version update with security update seems not to be a problem,so I would think that the problem would dexist in IE 5.0,using the updated securitypatch you were required to install IE 5,it did not apply to 4

Microsoft has stopped supporting IE 4. So any security holes will not be plugged by Microsoft.
I believe there is still support for IE 5.0 sp2.

Why not upgrade to IE 5.5 sp2 or 6.0?

Or switch to Netscape 4.79.

Microsoft implicitly states that these upgrades apply to only vesion 5.0 and above, in other words, these holes exist in IE4 but it will not fix them. they would like for you to upgrade to newer versions. Personally, I would upgrade to IE5.5sp2 and avoid IE6 till they get some of the bugs worked out of that one.
Good luck!
