Wonder if Google has fixed all these exploit holes yet?

Ouch

I knew there was a reason I didn't want it again..I had it happen and the fucking spyware was a real bitch to get rid of

It's amazing how people find these exploits, but then again the Israelis did invent ICQ :)

I was looking to see what version toolbar I had but it looks like it was only for older versions and has been fixed now

"..We notified Google about these problems on 31-Jul-2002 and worked with them to fix the issues. Google has been very responsive and quick to produce a fixed version.."

Yeh, and Microsoft has fixed all their exploits too how many times now.

The hackers are always one step ahead of the patchers.

"We notified Google about these problems on 31-Jul-2002 and worked with them to fix the issues. Google has been very responsive and quick to produce a fixed version (1.1.59/1.1.60).
The new version began distributing on Wednesday (07-Aug-2002) noon using the auto-update feature in the Google toolbar. Therefore, most of the toolbar's users should be protected from these vulnerabilities by now. "

looks like its fixed

i tried their demo exploits, didnt work on me

Hmm Google has a deskbar tool anyone tried this? :glugglug

Opera has a built in google search box. :Graucho

hackers are just free QA, work pretty good for a good luaghs;)
