These are my latest tech news finds for this week:

• Microsoft releases fix for DLL vulnerability – Microsoft has released a work-around tool to ward off attacks that exploit dynamic-link library (DLL) loading vulnerabilities while administrators update affected applications.
• Priority Inbox – Google's new Priority Inbox feature being rolled out to GMail users is like an unspam filter for your email
• Surely you’re not still using Internet Explorer version 6 – If you are stuck in the internet dark ages, either by choice, ignorance, or corporate enforcement, then there's bad news for you. Aside from the countless, major security problems with the old version of Microsoft's web browser (IE6 aka MSIE6), Facebook has now announced that it will no longer allow access to its site via this browser. Get yourself up to date before you get off your Facebook. I recommend Google Chrome and/or Mozilla Firefox. Opera is also very good although I have never used it regularly.
• Outlook password recovery – GHacks highlights simple software that allows you to retrieve an Outlook password on your computer. As a warning though, this presumably means anyone with access to your machine could snaffle your password too.
• CloudMagic Google Mail search extension – CloudMagic creates a search index of your online data on your local hard disk, ignores attachments, images and any binary (non-text) data so that you can find that old email message (from whichever of your GMail accounts you like). It's like a software-only equivalent of a Google Search Appliance for your online data.
• Online OCR – Of the various options available, looks like Google Docs is the best, free way to convert an image containing text (a scanned document for instance) into a text file document online. Just don't expect it to retain the format perfectly.
