More infinate wisdom there Rafel.
Price per license for "Finjan's Vital Security for Web" = 9.50GBP per user
+ 20% support per annum, roughly equates to 160,000GBP (plus any hardware,
software and network requirements) to cover us with your no doubt
class-leading product. I'm sure that the Directors will love to cough up
another 160 grand when we are already paying MS for Premier support.
Use SUS to install XP SP2 to 14,000 Windows 2000 machines? Somehow I think
that will be problematic.
Replace the SHDOCVW.DLL with the XP SP2 version? On Windows 2000 machines?
And what about the practical problems getting round Windows File
Protection? On 14,000 machines? Do you want to come in here and try what
you suggest?
I think Rafel you need a lesson in being a Windows Administrator before
posting your very helpfull posts to this list.
So thanks but no thanks.
Colin.

If you do have 14000 machines why don't you buy "Finjan's Vital Security
For
Web"?
It will filter all malicious I.E exploits for all its surfers(its a proxy,
quite fast...)
Or just use SUS(system update server (microsoft)) just like any other
administrator... to install sp2 or to just
replace the c:\windows\system32\shdocvw.dll with the patched one or with
sp2
one...

That is incorrect, there is a fix --> SP2.
Users should use the latest updated system, meaning if there is an SP2,
they
should install it.
