Figure 1: Security Issue: WordMailmErge Add-On Error

Error Message:

(if you try to merge a document)

You are trying to read or write to protected memory, this is a sign that the memory is corrupt.

Problem:

The reference is not set correctly.

This is caused by the Security Update for 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB2251419).

Solution:

You have to delete this security update and the merge will work without any problems.

(Tested on XP with Office 2007)

SSL enables browsers to communicate with a web-server over a secure channel that prevents eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery.  You should always use SSL for login pages where users are entering usernames/passwords, as well as for all other sensitive pages on sites (for example: account pages that show financial or personal information).

Configuring SSL on Windows with previous versions of IIS has been a pain.  Figuring out how to install and manage a certificate, and then associate it with a web-site, is something I bet most web developers don't know how to enable.
