The Nimba worm currently affecting insecure IIS 4 and 5 installations
on Windows NT and Win2K has a payload which could create problems for
IE users on version 5.01 and 5.5 in that it allows execution of code
on a users machine from a misconfured MIME attachment in the infected
server.
To fix the problem, either install service pack 2 for your browser,
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2.
