I received a message from my upper level Automation folks that states
"Microsoft Explorer is not authorized to be utilized on any computer within 
this command".  I asked them why and they stated that the Army banned it 
after the security hole(s) were found by and confirmed by outside agencies.
The Army usually bans software after the DOD has determined that it can cause 
serious harm to Defense Department equipment.  A great deal was said about 
the various security "holes" at both the CERT and CNN News sites.
