Spoofing hole found in Internet Explorer
A BUG IN Internet Explorer has been discovered which allows ID spoofing.
Secunia describes the vulnerability as "moderately critical".

According to a bulletin, the hole allows users to be tricked into revealing information, or to download and run bad software on systems.

Because an arbitrary "fully qualified domain name" is displayed in the address bar, which differs from the real address.

That could lead people to think a site can be trusted.

It can't.

Yesterday Microsoft cancelled a monthly security check for its software, according to Neowin.

The Secunia bulletin is here:

I use IE. Fast and reasonably reliable, and with a very useful favorites window that I now can't live without

Admuncher is better than that. It can do all of that.

I use MYie2. It's the same as IE but better.

I use IE because it's fast (it's going to be when it's part of the system), functional (apart from the print button sending straight to the printer) good looking, free and it's already there.
I used to use Netscape but their developers completely fucked it up by adding extra shit (hello AOL) without fixing drawbacks (only support one email server? Stooopiiid!) or problems. Now it's just a joke.

Popup? Not a problem for me as I have NIS2003 takng care of them, together with ads and dodgy code.
