Dallas, TX | All three of the nasties in this thread can get... onto your system by ActiveX. Comet Curse (misspelled
intentionally) was the first to take advantage of
this, followed by Gator and that horrid purple Gorilla,
Bonzi Buddy. (BTW, 2 of Bonzi's other offerings are
questionable or even pure snake oil. Those are Internet
Boost - does for $30 what many freeware programs will do,
and Internet Alert - a pseudo-firewall that's really one
of those "evil port monitors" Steve Gibson warns people
about. Not only that, but probably get the gorilla as
unwanted foistware.)
