You know damn well these also subject the users to potential and
ongoing vulnerabilities which are *not* protected via 9X capable AV
and other programs due to the differing operating environments and
expected respective activities. Moreover, *these files* may give users a
false and dangerous feeling that they HAVE secured their systems, when,
IN FACT, they have added to the potential and/or now unknown real
vulnerabilities.

Why don't you just keep this crap over on MSFN and the other sites and
forums that cater to this type of UNTESTED [other than installation]
modifications.

Don't bother pointing to the users of those modifications for supposed
"testing" as most of those {such as you} know *only* that the
modifications install.

I agree, he should have perhaps added some warning to that effect, but
he knows he doesn't need to as you will do so for him. (I just _knew_
what the next post I would see would be!)

Does this set of fixes actually ADD to the vulnerabilities of a system,
or just CHANGE it - i. e. could it be that it introduces some new ones
but closes some (while also adding other things, such as a DirectX and a
web fonts update)?

[They're of academic interest to me anyway - I do not have IE of any
flavour on my '98SEl machines, one of which has never been online and
the other does so very rarely.]

Good questions. If it were the OSs designed for it might fulfill the
desired effect, temporarily. However, there is no "patch Tuesday" or
"zero day" hotfixes for Win9x and these will contain vulnerabilities IN
THE OSs designed, for which updates will be received, Win9X won't.
These are for the interface to the Internet, the browser, waving in the
breeze...

Just as the last posted suggested junk from 98 Guy was patched in a
week or so, and is NOT part of a normal Win9X installation {MS XML4}, so
rather obviously they introduce vulnerabilities that wouldn't be there
to start with. NO ONE tests these for 9X vulnerabilities and they DO
introduce new vulnerabilities into the OSs intended; nor even for
compatibility beyond they install...

On the other hand, if you want to *manual* check every day to see if
Microsoft has offered any security or file fixes, AND check for whether
they work in 9X, AND are willing to be a "guinea pig" for any new and
COMPLETELY UNKNOWN 9X vulnerabilities, then sure, install; just don't
expect anyone to be able to help fix your system and don't expect your
software will be compatible... including any malware protection.

Somewhere along the line since EOL, these people lost track of what
they hoped to accomplish, keeping 9X alive... that requires someone
actually test and NOT JUST FOR INSTALLATION, and creation of NEW
browsers and malware programs...

Default Internet Explorer 6.0 Sp1 Component Update 3.0 for Windows 98

Hi All,

Have a look at 98 Guy's headers. I would not trust someone using Opera to
build IE patches for an unsupported OS or browser.

You may as well accept those Windows Updates trojans that appear in your
Inbox (NOT). I think he is wearing black.

Regards.

Oh, I'm using Opera am I?

I think he is wearing black.


Since when is the use of Opera diagnostic of a black-hat?

You may as well accept those Windows Updates trojans that

Why don't you take this up with the win-98 community at msfn.org?

Go there and tell them what you think of this update:
