nobody@vox.com(Charliebrownau) — Sat, 29 Jul 2006 02:35:07 +1000

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 autoupdate blocker application

Microsoft is going to distribute Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 as a high-priority update
via Automatic Updates for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 soon
after the final version of the browser is released (planned for fourth quarter 2006).

Microsoft is making a non-expiring Blocker Toolkit available for those that would like to block automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 7 to machines in environments where Automatic Updates is enabled.

* The Blocker Toolkit will prevent machines from receiving Internet Explorer 7 as a high-priority update via Automatic Updates and the “Express” install option on the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites. The Blocker Toolkit will not expire.

* The Blocker Toolkit will not prevent users from manually installing Internet Explorer 7 as a Recommended update from the Windows Update or Microsoft Update sites, from the Microsoft Download Center, or from external media.

Direct Download http link:

Note:

Those who want a safer web surfing.
I recommend using Portable Firefox [opensource] with adblock plugin
http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/portablefirefox/Firefox_Portable_1.5.0.5_en-us.exe

I also recommending to remove IE, OE and WMP from youre current Windows with Nlite [Freeware] http://www.nliteos.com/nlite.html

and disable some of the bloat and insecurity of Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista with
XPY [opensource] http://sourceforge.net/projects/xpy/
