About
Depending on your current version of Microsoft Virtual Machine, there will be plenty of other important fixes. This latest release will fix a security vulnerability that allows a malicious Web-site operator access to files on a user’s computer and intranet content. It also fixes a hole that may permit script code in a Web page or HTML-based e-mail message access to ActiveX controls that ought to not be available in those contexts; and another one that could enable a malicious user to make use of an unsigned applet to read Web page behind a firewall.
This download fixes known security issues with Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can be applied to Windows 95, 98, Me, NT or XP (but not Windows 2000). note that although JVM was not included with the original release of XP, it is now part of Windows XP SP1. However, the XP SP1 version (3805) has since been found to have plenty of security flaws. Likewise, the earlier versions of the JVM that were included with Web Explorer 4.0 and 5.0 also contain plenty of security holes (Web Explorer 6 did not have the JVM included in the setup, but it is still needed by the browser in some circumstances).
Note also that Microsoft has changed the name of Java Virtual Machine to Microsoft Virtual Machine or Microsoft VM. However, most people (and Windows) still refer to it as Java Virtual Machine or JVM for short.
