Will NISS 2009 protect me against current I.E. 6 vulnerability (had to repost this question-sorry)

Hello -- i have been remiss in not installing SP3 - it has been downloaded and sitting on my desktop - trying to get up the nerve to install ......(so many have helped me here  regarding this and i didn't want them to think their help was ignored).but that's not my question today:

     My concern is regarding the very current Microsoft Security Bulletin Advisory 979352http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/979352.mspx &  current safety issues with I.E. 6  (which i still have because i have been afraid to download an additional use browser - i'm afraid to download 'things').

    .Because of this new issue with MSIE 6 I have set my security level to 'High" and realize it will disable Active X, etc. ...and probably won't be able to us some IE sites (also set my Outlook Express to 'plain text')

       So  ... will my Norton ISS 2009 help to stave-off attacks to my computer until MSIE issues a 'patch' for IE 6 ?   thanks in advance to you all for reading and replying....Edythe...
