Adult Sites Exploit New IE Flaw

[Case]

Leave it to adult websites to be the first group to exploit a new security bug in IE (http://news.com.com/Porn+sites+exploit+new+IE+flaw/2100-7349_3-6117407.html?tag=nefd.top) capable of installing malicious software, even on a fully patched system.

The vulnerability lies in the way IE 6 handles certain graphics. Malicious software can be loaded, unbeknownst to the user, onto a vulnerable Windows PC when the user clicks on a malicious link on a Web site or an e-mail message, several security companies said. "Fully patched Internet Explorer browsers are vulnerable

the flaw can be overcome by disabling the activex plugins to be run from the browser. or the user can disable the VGX.dll by using regsvr32 / u command to unregister the DLL.

Thank you for this information. With two kids that use this computer, I sure don't need porn popping up.

Thanks again.

Well the problem with disabling active x is that every time you go to windows update you have to RE Enable them

solutions DONT USE IE use FF

I even going to admit myself that I have been to an adult site or two. I think there also is porntube and anyone heard of that? Naughty version of you tube.:D

[Case]

porn tube? ok linkage gogogo

[ninikins]

porntube?! hahaha! Always something new out there. But yeah, this is why people should use firefox. not that i visit adult sites...

I think there are some very good options available in the browser market. One is Fireforx and the other one is Opera. Both are good. Opera just seems to load faster. Opera does also have an in-built email client.

True enough, IE always have security flaws. I just don't understand how hackers managed to find all those holes all these years.

Microsoft will really need to come up with a new set of code, programmed from the start!

I had no idea there was a porn youtube like site, might just have to check that out - for curiousity's sake of course...I find that adult sites are terribly produced and nothing more than magnents for malware to be avoided like the plague ;)

[Case]

check it out? yea sure its for testing reasons we need to benchmark it lets go! :)
