Subject: Unwanted file download on Yahoo

 Hii!!

 Iam sorry guyz .. for using a short hand lingo
 Correcting myself now ..
 The problem was that when i was reading my mails on
 yahoo the media bar popped up. Then the "Download
 Accelerator Plus" tried to download a file named
 "1.exe" from a link which i could not retain. Was
this
 due to the MS02-32 vulnerabilty? Is it possible for
 yahoo being infected i.e. having a malformed media
 file. I am running Windows XP on my system with IE
 6.0.2600 on deafault security settings.

 Their is one more problem in my PC. Whenever i try to
 open the M$ site on security updates a script error
 occurs. Please provide me with some info on this too.

 Please advice.

 And i really am sorry for using a short hand lingo.
 iam sorry. This was the first time i mailed on this 
 list. so please excuse a newbie.

**Saurabh**
