Yep, my unpatched warezed Windows XP no-SP Pro IE6 is vulnerable alright. Whoopity-do. How about you, my protected Firefox colleagues?

Thanks for the heads up.

Btw, just because you like beind f'd in the a by using IE, doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it. Just keep it to yourself, there isn't even a soapbox for miles around you.

Solution:
Do not browse untrusted sites while browsing trusted sites.

Er... ok.

It's like saying do not remove condom while having safe sex.

IE = safe
firefox = safe
guess i'm secure

You are vulnerable, if a pop-up window opened and showed text from Beyondunreal and not from CitiBank.

NAV Internet protection + IE 6 = works fine. No Virus, no adware.

non sp2 winxp pro...
opera - safe
firefox - safe
ie - vulnerable

Lynx is un-affected. Let's all switch over!

 

[Zxanphorian]

Hmm, im pretty safe: NIS/NAV,Windows firewall, and a router firewall
btw, i mostly use firefox

 

[Symbolikal]

Let's see, I don't use an online bank or IE, I'm not affect

wait wait, let me get this straight. instead of normally opening up a pop-up window I don't want... they can open up another one I don't want instead... nothing freaking special if you ask me... spyware has been doing this for years...
