Internet Explorer 5.5 Patch, Windows Update Service
After installing a recent Internet Explorer 5.5 patch using the online Windows Update service, I was prompted to reboot my computer. I ran WhyReboot version 1.0.0.480, and received the following report:

8 items were found and reported.
So, it's clear from the above report, that I should reboot my computer in order for the changes to take effect -- several core IE files will be renamed after rebooting. It's probably not safe to continue using the computer until a reboot has taken place.
