Re: New IE7 Exploit {Run Away!}

The reason firefox is so popular is because it gives the user an incredible amount of power to create exactly the type of crap they want.

Definitely not because it's open-source, has a huge community, is faster/more reliable than most other browsers, and has like a trillion extensions & themes.

Only because it allows users to make more crap. Yes.

Yeah, IE has been bad news for a long while, but then I've never been totally happy with any web browser. Even lynx, which was my favorite for a long while (but then I used to be a big fan of Gopher), is horrendously insecure (just has an obscurity advantage). NoScript helps, though.

All web browsers are crap. The reason firefox is so popular is because it gives the user an incredible amount of power to create exactly the type of crap they want.

Use what you want, and Mhurron is right that no software is ever safe. But an always up-to-date copy of FF3 with NoScript keeps me ahead of the game. I'd recommend it.

This.

FF updated + nice No Script and Ad Blocker (just because I hate ads, for that latter app).

Nothing is ever 100% safe, but it's best to do what you can on your end.

Re: New IE7 Exploit {Run Away!}

FYI, I use IE. I don't care what anyone thinks and I don't want to use Firefox. If you have the proper programs on your computer, you are just fine with IE. I haven't had any issues for years while my husband has with his Firefox. (Though in FF's defense, my husband is an idiot.)

No software is safe.

Sure there is, you just have to make sure your computer never connects to a network, is exposed to foreign media, or is turned on.

Article said "What we've seen from the exploit so far is it stealing game passwords, but it's inevitable that it will be adapted by criminals," he said.

Oh, that's funny. I guess if you're only stealing game passwords, then you're not an actual criminal.
