Windows XP SP2 will block auto downloads and Active X!
 

Q: Does your Web site start downloads that are not initiated by the user?

A: File downloads are blocked in the following cases:

* A Web site attempting to navigate to a resource.
* Navigation that would result in the display of a file download dialog box.
* A user not initiating navigation with a mouse click or key press.

To correct this, make all downloads the result of a user-init

awesome news :thumbsup

finally microsoft

:thumbsup yay! fuck autodialers - if you can't make money without tricking people to dial - find another job

Nice.. about time that shit was stopped.

they are also looking at and I'm pretty sure are going 2 start using Ironport for spam.

Uh based on what I read on that site, Microsoft is only going to be blocking unsigned Active X controls.

As long as it's signed with Microsoft Authenticode you will be just fine, otherwise there is no point in Active X controls.

Also yes auto dialers are bad, but some of you guys are total morons if you think all active x controls are bad. Certified Active X controls are just fine.

so true

yup :)

:winkwink:

those fuckers are scum
