lol i knew about this security hole the day i started using xp back in 03. mainly because me and my friend regularly mess with each other's PC's to see who has a worse security LOL. I.E. is a huge pile poorly made virtually no security whatsoever. Well till I.E. 8 came along that thing actually is a power horse now, still could use some fixing but its definitely a power horse and is ten times better than its predecessor. good link but no worries it seems they already fixed it or are in the process.
Posts like this one are the reason I ignored you over a year ago. I just wish people would stop quoting crap like this. On a serious note, I'm a little amused at how many of these exploits are being exposed now as apposed to many years ago when XP was more vulnerable. Is it possibly because most all other backdoors are being closed? If that's the case, shouldn't the most serious faults be addressed first?
funny how I've been using xp & ie6 for years and have yet to get a virus/trojan or any type of malicious spyware/malware......
A while back I made this banking program. You see every day there's thousands of transactions that end in fractions of a penny. The program I wrote takes those fractions and dumps it into a numbers swiss bank account, in essence just rounding the transaction down. I thought about putting it out there on the world after I hacked this bank's gibson computer (using there super admin password. It was "god" HA NOOBS!), but after I looked in their garbage file I found that someone was already doing it. I then went and rubed one out to japinese anime. All in all I would say it was a sweet day.
Firefox, Opera, even Chrome > IE* IE8 sucks just as much as 7. IE6 is the worst browser known to man. Microsoft has consistently had the most feculent browser on the market since the late 90s.
