It fixes a flaw in in the way Internet Explorer 6 handles certain graphics, which may allow malicious software to be loadedwhen the user clicks on a malicious link on a Web site or an email message.
The patch can be installed using Windows Update service or downloaded in the security bulletin MS06-055 article.
