Answer» If you use it consider this>http://ashitaka-san.home.comcast.net/yayrant/ieharmful.htmlQuote Page URL Not Found!!Werid i tried it myself and got the same results? well there is this One more reason why firefox is better then IEAgree complete.y http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index.dat Index.dat is not dangerous. Of course it can't be deleted by normal methods, it is in use by the system. Conspiracy theories are boring and so is Microsoft bashing. Quote c:\DOCUME~1\Your Name\Local Settings\History\History.ie5 [edit] This is a hidden folder inside your Internet Explorer history that tracks the urls you have visited. Absolute rubbish. It is the IE history, it does not track it just says which sites have been visited within a pre-set time limit that can be set by the user. Of course IE remembers where it has been. Clicking 'back' on the toolbar would not work, opening the history folder within IE to return to that really good site you found wouldn't work. I would be very surprised if Firefox, Opera etc didn't have something similar.may i suggest guest that you use a seach engine for the<<<<<<<< internet explorer>>> http://anutsaka-san.home.comcast.net/yayrant/ieharmful.html and read all the article......Quote It is proof enough that WINDOWS XP comes with an "auto-update" program so that its users can download and fix vulnerabilities as Microsoft gets around to them. If an autoupdate program wasn't included they would be moaning about that. It may seem it takes MS a long time to rectify a problem but have you considered the amount of work it takes? First talk to the person who found the hole, try to repeat it and find what, how and why it happens, then... Write the code to patch it. Make sure it doesn't break anything on any version of Windows with any/all or no service PACKS or updates and then test it on all the different versions of Windows in other languages . And on top of that ensure that it doesn't break any of the third party software. This takes a little time to acheive. That quote makes it SOUND as if they fix vulns in their tea breaks. Quote or didn't notice obvious security holes while they were programming them. They are only obvious with hind SIGHT. Are MS programmers some kind of super humans? Can the author please say what the next 'obvious' vulnerability is? Quote Internet Explorer Barrages You with Ads Web sites and ad-ware barrage you with ads not IE. If you hate pop-ups that much disable java and java script in the internet zone. No more pop-ups. Easy. Plus Java shouldn't be allowed for any site to run it's crap anyway. Same with ActiveX, it should be disabled in the internet and restricted zones.The default security settings for IE are the biggest problem and my pet hate with IE. If it came with the security zones battened down to begin with it would be much safer. The average user hooks up their brand new computer to the inet and doesn't have a clue at what is out there. And it isn't their fault. I have picked only the more blatent absurdities but if IE wasn't so widely used and Firefox (for example) had the largest share of the browser market then it would be FF that had been studied and exploited in the way that IE has. As FF continues to get more users more holes will be found. That article was written by someone who, for some unexplained reason, hates MS. It's easy to knock something down but to be constructive, explain the problems, let people know how to secure IE would make it a much more important piece of writing.Ok thanks for your views on the subject.....i still use ie....and its up to the user to decide what is what....after all said and done....maybe other software programs are spying on users anyway....i posted this thread.....to see if people jump out of the frying pan into the fire...Quote Ok thanks for your views on the subject..... No problems LOL. I was in a bad mood last night and couldn't believe that the article was being presented as fact rather than an opinion. Quote i still use ie....and its up to the user to decide what is what.... So do I and I can't see me changine to any other browser. I agree totally, everybody has to make their own choices. Quote after all said and done....maybe other software programs are spying on users anyway.... If MS were really spying on us all the database must be rather large by now. LOL Quote i posted this thread.....to see if people jump out of the frying pan into the fire... Not quite sure what you mean by that. To confirm what I was saying about securing the internet zones MS has confirmed the existance of a hole that has yet to be patched. The workaround is to set the internet zones to high. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1833697,00.asp Disabling ActiveX downloads, active scripting, java script and java within the inet and restricted sites zones makes IE much more safer and the usability does not degrade by a significant amount. A few websites are broken but if they are to be trusted add them to the trusted sites zone. www(dot)coolwebsearch(dot)com holds no terrors for me Been there and didn't get infected. Quote www(dot)coolwebsearch(dot)com holds no terrors for me Smiley Been there and didn't get infected. Smiley Firefox is easy to configure for NOVICES. You know how to configure IE, but many a novice would get lost in the jungle of configuration settings that really do not look all too friendly. |
