"Infoworld is [URL=http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/01/28/HNiehole_1.html]reporting[/URL] another new security hole that allows links to executable files to appear to be any other type of file, such as text or pdf. When combined with a [URL=http://slashdot.org/articles/03/12/11/1319212.shtml?tid=113]previously reported spoofing bug[/URL], that Microsoft [URL=http://www.securityfocus.com/news/7807][b] still[/b] hasn't fixed[/URL], Infoworld claims the result could be 'devastating'"

Show of hands here....how many are really suprised? :rolleyes: With shit like this happening, its a small wonder why people continue to use Idiot Exploiter...

    firebird here, thanks to Biggles helping me configure it.

    and thunderbird user as well...though even with numerous filters, no spam has yet been caught.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    My filters seem to have healed a little, but they still let a few through. Better than no filters though. :)

    Yeah, especially when Internet Exposed is very stiff to use.
    This whole Windows+IE combnations must have more holes than sieve.


    That would be news if there would be one month when there wouldn't be found any new security holes.

    I use Firebird too, but what is there to configure? It's worked quite well for me out of the box, I just installed a few extensions to enhance its functionality.

    I hate menus. didn't relize it was customizable.

    for me, Buttons = faster = better. Only time I have to access the menus now is when I was to save the page to disc. otherwise, complete functionality (Bookmarks, history, print, etc are all buttons, which out of the box they arn't)

    A%: Shift-Click = Save to disk

    :)

    Learn keyboard combos and you never touch the menus :D
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    who needs shift click? Just relized it's in the normal right click menu. LOL

    so I never need to use the menus now! hehehehehe

    One healed patient more! :D
    Yep, after using better browser it feels like torture to use Internet Exposed.
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    I haven't noticed that much of a difference really, other then no popups. (Unless it's a popup that summons a whole new page...which is annoying)
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Yay for tab browser extensions, which allow you to force links that open a new window to instead open a new tab. :)
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    Opera have never open a link as e new window, only as a tab. Although I can right click on a link a nd choose to open a link in a new window.

    About the only thing I've never had a problem with on my PC is Windows/IE. :)
