IE8 - duff update released

Simon W · 31st March 2010, 21:19

If anyone's using IE8, Microsoft have released a duff security update which screws up various things.

Ident is KB980182. If you haven't already installed it, the best option is to ignore the little swine.

What does it do - that it's not supposed to I mean

I only noticed the errors it produces an hour ago, having said 'yes' to installing it this morning.

At the very least (I don't know what else it does) - it messes up the ability to follow web page links and reply to a post in a forum. For instance, on this site, you can't reply to a post at all, trying it caused mayhem.

I did a System Restore and got rid of the update.

Just go to add/remove prgrams and remove it from there. (or now warned don't mark for download)

Same here.

Tried it loaded last night and no problems here or any warnings/reports on MS Partner website either at the moment.

Any further information on your problem you had with it?
