siae3123 error message

[Stibine]

I have completed the critical updates to the ME version
and now constantly get error message "siae3123 has caused
an error siae3123 will now close". I have attempted to
contact MS, all they want is money ! Does anyone know
what to do for a fix, or should I just get a MAC next time.

Please help...

Yeah, get a Mac :

http://secunia.com/advisories/11622/

" Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Mac OS X, allowing
malicious web sites to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The problem is that the "help" URI handler allows execution of
arbitrary local scripts (.scpt) via the classic directory traversal
character sequence using "help:runscript".

2) It is also possible to silently place arbitrary files in a known
location, including script files, on a user's system using the
"disk" URI handler. Files on disk images can be executed without
using the "help" URI handler.

Various variants of the URI handler vulnerabilities are currently
being discussed.

This has been confirmed on Macintosh OS X using Safari 1.2.1
(v125.1) and Internet Explorer 5.2. Other browsers and applications
supporting URI handlers may also be used as attack vectors.

NOTE: The rating has been upgraded to "Extremely Critical" because
the issues are very easy to exploit and a large number of working
exploits are available. "


" siae3123 " does not refer to any update from MS. It returns no
hits on Google.
IF the error came from doing an update then you could contact MS and
get free support. Since it doesn't .... advise you to scan for viral
or malware activity :
