Subject: Securing IIS article on securityfocus.com

  In the article titled "Securing IIS" or "Locking down IIS" on the
SecurityFocus web site this statement is made :

Install Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2
The Option Pack includes IE 4.01 SP1, however, it is recommended to install
SP2, available here. DO NOT install IE5. DO NOT install Active Desktop.
Reboot as needed.

  I checked the references listed for this article and could find nothing to
backup this statement. Is anyone aware of a paper/article which would
provide some factual information about this recommendation?

Thanks,
Keith
