QUOTE(=Savage= @ Apr 26 2005, 02:51 PM)

Well what you need to do is firstly go into:
Tools>Extensions and delete the Gmail Notifier plug-in

Then click the update button on the top right and install it again.

Right... well the Gmail Notifier is not an extension. Gmail.com (or gmail.google.com) is a secure site (you can tell when the address bar turns yellow and a lock appears), so the only way you should be able to login is by acually typing in your account name and password. Also, if you artificially sent the form data...

3. Hackers Focus Efforts On Firefox, Safari, And Office - (1)

   QUOTE Many people are switching from Internet Explorer to alternative browsers such as Firefox
   and Safari. Though that might make them feel more secure, the shift has also opened new doors for
   bad guys. Case in point: We have no IE bugs to report this month, but both Firefox and Safari have
   been hit hard. So forget the idea that just because you've switched to a new browser,
   you're magically safer. You may be for a time, but to stay safe with any software, you need to
   keep current with fixes. Firefox Holes In a somewhat dubious recognition of Firefox's...

4. Opera, Firefox Bug Could Reveal Web Travels - (0)

   OH NO!!! (sarcasm there) QUOTE A flaw in the way the Firefox and Opera browsers
   handle an image file could allow an attacker to see what Web sites a person has visited. The
   problem concerns how the two browsers handle a ".BMP," or bitmap, image file, according to an
   advisory written by Gynvael Coldwind of Vexillium.org, who posted a video illustrating the problem.
   A malicious bitmap file can be created that pulls other information from the browsers' memory.
   Some of the information that can be captured is random, but at other times could be valuable...

5. Is There An Exploit In Vista Home Premium To Make Firefox Permanant Default Browser? - (4)

   I just got a new laptop, and of course it's loaded with vista. Everything works awesomly!
   (my last PC was from 2001, BIG DIFF.) But the damned thing compulsivly and automatically sets
   Internet Explorer to my default browser and won't let me change certain things which browsers
   will typically handle. 've manually changed it so Firefox handles all the stuff except HTTPS
   and what not (CANNOT CHANGE W/O HACK!), but IE just bumps in every time I want to click a link
   from a non-browser based file /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="...

   Well it seems firefox flaws are becoming a popular now, the two flaws that have been reported all
   follow the same protocol that had posted about before; QUOTE The flaw lies in Firefox's URL
   handler component.. Like the first flaw, this one could be exploited by attackers to launch
   programs on the victim's PC without authorization, said Tyler Reguly, a security research
   engineer at nCircle Network Security Inc. "They're both related to the URL handling process," he
   said "It's just different errors within that handling process." So far it would se...

7. Interesting New Ie - Firefox Bug ( A Must Read Asap) - FF 2.0.02 and up users need to know about this (3)

   Well it has finally happen and strangely enough I didn't really think about it until now, but it
   seems a security team found a very high level bug that requires both Internet Explorer 7 and
   Modzilla Fire Fox. This is the jist of the bug; QUOTE The root of the matter is a Firefox
   uniform resource identifier (URI) that allows Web sites to force Firefox to launch with the

8. [tutorial] About Spam/tracing E-mail & How To Avoid Spam - (1)

   QUOTE Using a case study of a e-mail I got, it's not really spam but its sort of. The
   first rule is NEVER reply to spam, NEVER click the unsubscribe link and NEVER e-mail to the
   unsubscribe address. These are simply underhand tactics to get 'active' e-mail addresses.
   Some other tips to avoid getting spammed in the first place: 1) Never use your real e-mail
   address in newsgroups, this is the best place to get picked up by a spam bot. Use something like

10. Windows Crashing. Can't Use Opera Or Firefox - deleted files in temp folder (3)

    Windows has been acting strangely by now, it freezes/clogs badly, I can't use Opera, MF or
    continue my tutorials due to this problem. It gets on my nerves as I think it was MY problem because
    I deleted MOST of the files in the Temp folder. CODE (Start>Run...>%Temp%)
    That folder, most of the files were deleted by me. I consulted my friend by half-screwed MSN, he
    said I "effed me up the arse" by doing that. He recommended me backing up and formatting. I never
    did that before so I think it will be most-likely half-impossible for me. And as I d...

16. Firefox 1.0.7 - ... firefox! :D (14)

    To some this may seem a bit late. Firefox has released a new version that covers several critical
    issues, and adds more stability. It is a wonderful alternative to Internet Exploer, and offers (in
    my opinion) more security because it blocks most spyware. Article:
