"Faulty Patch Leaves IE Open to Attack"

"A fully patched IE system is vulnerable to this"

"In addition to the Qhost Trojan, Manion has seen another Trojan that exploits this vulnerability to steal users' AOL Instant Messenger passwords. There is also an exploit that installs a dialing program that calls out to an overseas toll number, and a fourth tool that installs an old back door program."



Where else can you find ALL of this in ONE package!
For FREE

Say good bye to Infomercials, they couldn't sell a complete package like this!

AOSmell users deserve trojans, lol.

On a more serious note.....can you IMAGINE the headache some of the Microsoft guys go to bed with at night? Also having to face the tech press' questions about security....and having to come up with feasable definitions for terms like "trustworthy computing" etc etc.

just to make sure, if i have ie installed but use oprea im not effected correct?

good old ms, thank god for opera

[Creatures]

no opera is pretty good protected (there are security holes, but first they must be found!)

Creatures

i meant creatures is since i have ie installed, but use opera. just having ie installed shouldnt effect me.

i assume it should since i use opera most of the time. now im confused

Infomercials??

Vass, see you doctor, they make drugs for this nowdays.

PS,
Thanks for the update.

you are safe until you open ie and visit one of those 'specially crafted' web pages with ie. it should be safe to visit the same page with opera, mozilla or netscape, but not browsers based on ie or presumably not safe with stuff like kazaa's webpage window as this too uses ie. i wonder about media player, hmmmm?

IE's a train-wreck when it comes to security. It's still highly suspicious to me that IE doesn't seem concerned with putting in any sort of pop-up blocking (although every other major browser has).
