I have searched in there data base to no avail to find out if it is trying to install "IE 7" which I do not want. Or is this an update to IE 6 which I have. I THINK their being deceptive so no easy easy answer is given from MS
Thanks
PS I use Firefox

Your right "ctran" I've already read the link u gave before you gave it, but it gave me nothing concrete

Nope. Its a (critical) IE 6.x patch to correct the following recently discovered vulnerabilities.
"A memory corruption error within the interpretation of certain DHTML script function calls (e.g. normalize()) to incorrectly created elements can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a user's system.
An unspecified error within the handling of drag and drop operations can be exploited to retrieve content of the TIF folder (Temporary Internet Files) via a specially crafted web page.
An unspecified error within the handling of OBJECT tags can be exploited to disclose the path to the TIF folder (Temporary Internet Files) and retrieve its contents via a specially crafted web page.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the exception handling of script errors. This can be exploited to corrupt memory via an HTML document containing specially crafted JavaScript that triggers certain errors simultaneously.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code."
Its NOT going to install IE 7 (although personally, If I were going to use IE, I would upgrade to 7) and applying Critical patches is highly recommended.
