Maybe you thought Internet Explorer would be ancient history by now, but unfortunately Microsoft is still making security updates for it.

It's the update we've all been waiting for. The one that removes Internet Explorer.

Thanks to Microsoft's misguided efforts to make their inferior browser an integral part of the Windows platform, the IE rendering engine was stuck into all sorts of things - and now, even though the browser has long since been deprecated, governmental hackers are still using IE exploits to break into systems because IE is embedded into MS Office products. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft.

Internet Explorer is finally dead, sort of. There won't be any more updates so you better get rid of it, but the underlying engine is still embedded in the operating system and Edge will still use the IE rendering engine for it's IE mode for many years to come.

This is your irregular reminder to check your network to see if there are any servers on it that don't need to be there anymore. One less server is one less thing to patch and one less thing that could be exploited in the absence of a patch (and if it's been running for 21 years you've got to think it's missing a few patches)..

I can't believe it's 2021 and we still have to worry about Internet Explorer and ActiveX controls. That technology is over 20 years old.
