On April 11, Microsoft is releasing an update that includes critical security fixes for Internet Explorer. Most users will receive this update automatically via Windows Update. After the update, users will be required to activate applets, ActiveX controls and other embedded objects and plug-ins before they can interact with them. Activation requires hitting the space bar, pressing the enter key, or using the mouse to click on the item. Users running the Firefox or Safari web browsers will not be affected by this update.

This update may cause problems with Blackboard and WeBCT.  Please contact the OIT Staff/Faculty Helpdesk at oithelp@etsu.edu or 439-4648 or the OIT Student Helpdesk at shdesk@imail.etsu.edu or 439-5648 if you are experiencing problems.
