unspecified s\potential security flaw

When I open the 'temporary internet files' folder, I get the following
error.

Box with blue border saying 'internet explorer', containing the following
message "This page has an unspecified potential security flow/Would you like
to continue?/Yes/No"

When I click no - the folder does not open, when I click yes - the folder
opens.

Rebooting does not 'cure' this.

Completely emptying the folder does not cure it (Content.IE5 contains only
index.dat - which cannot be deleted.)

How do I get rid of the error????

The recent update KB921398 added this security warning. If you
uninstall that
update, the warning on the TIF will go away.

See post:

for a previous discussion of this problem. [Sorry about the long URL
above.]

Seems like a very stupid patch - warning about something that does not exist
(empty folder NOT containing anything about a java cookie.)

OK - now how do I uninstall KB921398?? It is not in the list of programs in
control panel->add/remove programs.

Too reveal KB921398 in Control Panel make sure you check mark the Show
Updates
box in the top right of the Add/Remove programs screen. KB921398 will
be near the
bottom of the list.

Thanks - I knew that (sometime) I had looked at the add/remove list and
updates WERE listed.

Problem - when I click on remove the KB, a warning that several listed
programs AND KB920214 and KB 922616 might not run properly. Do you want to
continue?

I clicked no until I get an explanation from you especially about the two
KBs not working properly.

I really don't know if those other 2 KB patches are working properly.
They show as
installed [after uninstalling KB921398] & Windows Update shows them as
installed.
I talked to MS support several days ago about the KB921398 problem &
they
did not mention any side effects to removing KB921398.

Could you ask specifically about whether KB920214 and KB 922616 would be
adversely affected by removing KB 921398?

My question is because those two were listed as being affected by removal of
KB921398

I have not yet removed KB921398. KB920214 and KB 922616 are still installed.

I do not know EXACTLY what KB920214 and KB 922616 DO. Or even what KB921398
does (except for the incorrect error message.)

I would suggest that you contact Microsoft about your specific
situation with
info about your OS & hardware.

Thanks.

I have uninstalled the patch and the error message went away.
