applescript update question

Comment:
I think I did something dumb but maybe someone knows whether it was or not. While running IE 5.1 I was interrupted by the Apple Updater saying I needed an Applescript/Authoring update. maybe stupidly I did it and then it restarted.
Is this legit or just a new way to manipulate a browser and add a trojan (like Simpsons) or worm. I dumped OExpress, which I've never used but did notice it was a little difficult logging on (not connected to a network, its a home connection) but that might be the ISP.
IS this possibly bad? I ran NAV but it didn't find anything. Should I reinstall system software (a hassle) to be on the safe side.

I'm gonna take a wild guess your Software Update control panel is configured to check for new updates about once a week or so, and it just happened to find one when you were using IE.
Nothing to worry about, but you really ought to ditch IE for a better browser, like iCab.

NOOOOOOOO! Run far, far away from the horror that is Opera.
Opera makes IE look like a very stable piece of software. Hell, Opera makes *Win ME* look like a stable piece of software.

It would be funnier if it wasn't so pathetically accurate.
