You do realize that most spyware has to be accepted before it can be installed? Are you holding down the Y button all day or what? Holy shit...

Anyone else see the irony in his sig?

turn off active x in your browser so people cant auto install that shit

Install Mozilla firefox and use it as your standard browser - problem solved.

lol ... try

Spybot search and destroy . Do immunize & block the pages that got spywares (feature in the immunize panel)

And download spyware blaster it blocks bad active x + 2000 auto installing spywares.

FireFox is a slow pile of crap.

Yeah, let's all click that and install browser hacks on our surfers computers too... No wait. THEN we could sell them the full licence version of Ad-Aware, spybot s&d, etc. God we'll be rich!!!

haha

I dont understand how this happens to people so much. Stop using IE.. its going to keep getting worse before it gets better.

bdld · 06-01-2004, 04:38 PM

i use spybot and spyware blaster and norton.. keeps me clean

I have IE6, Opera and Firefox on my system and Firefox is the fastest.

I dont understand what you mean with "no active-x = no flash" because this are completly different technologies and flash sites work fine with firefox.

To each his own... IE is the fastest, most reliable browser I have ever used. There is a reason it's #1. Firefox loads (program, and websites) atLEAST 3 times slower than IE does (for me). If you disable Active-X in IE, you will not be able to load flash animations.

i had the opposite effect with speed, also firefox has a built in popup blocker

You can setup different level of security with active x .

Try spyware blaster it refuse install but allow flash

Try spyware blaster ... no active X but flash

And both got features where you can ignore like 500000 sites that got spyware .

reliable? it's a swiss cheese of securityholes, some of them wellknown but ignored by microsoft for months. IE = a computer full of autoinstalled spyware for most users.

It's fast to load cause alot of the code is loaded when windows starts up, adding load time to windows instead + eating memory. At least mozilla gives you the choice to pre-load it or not at windows boot time.

While I agree beeing the dominant browser of course draws extra fire from hackers and securityresearchers I think that's far from the only explanation.

Microsoft just never cared much for security (even though they've tried to convice us otherwise lately, remains to be seen what comes out of it).

I can imagine the state of the IE code when it takes microsoft *Months* to fix a single new securityhole.

And the motivation for security in IE when they just dont seem to care about others.
