siljaline I'm lovin' that double wide Premium join:2002-10-12 Montreal, QC kudos:17 Reviews: ·Bell Sympatico	reply to trparky Re: IE Zero-Day I'm not big on code, trparky When I was an IE MVP, I could have asked the IE Team at MS. I no longer have that option accessible to me. What we have in this thread is the latest information. I suspect we will know more in the forthcoming days if MS will issue an out-of-band patch or perhaps a FixIt.

I haven't looked into it in any detail but apparently there's some rather clever techniques that can be used to access deallocated memory. Take a look at the EMET manual as it has basic explanations of some common tricks. -- Don't feed trolls--it only makes them grow!

therube join:2004-11-11 Randallstown, MD	reply to redwolfe_98 Microsoft Confirms IE Flaw, Releases Workaround "Here are Microsoft’s recommendations for those still using Internet Explorer 8 or older: • Set Internet and local intranet security zone settings to "High" to block ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting in these zones • Configure Internet Explorer to prompt before running Active Scripting or to disable Active Scripting in the Internet and local intranet security zones • Deploy the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) ..."

Premium join:2000-08-06 Galt's Gulch kudos:2 Reviews: ·CenturyLink	reply to therube said by therube: And aren't XP users limited to (at most) IE8 (or another browser entirely)? Yup. Win2K users can't run anything higher than IE6. I use Firefox v12.0 (the last to run on Win2K) on the rare occasions I browse on that box. IE 3.01 was the last to run on Win 3.1 and WfWG 3.11 (16-bit OS'es) Netscape lasted until 4.x from memory. -- Don't feed trolls--it only makes them grow!

TheMG Premium join:2007-09-04 Canada kudos:1	reply to La Luna said by La Luna: ^^^ This. Why anyone would use such an old, outdated, insecure browser is beyond me. I'd like to say they deserve whatever happens, but that would be mean. Companies that are too cheap to spend the money required to re-code or update the "broken" web applications they are using. Yes, the company I work for still uses IE6. Several of the intranet web apps don't work properly on any other browser. Is that a valid reason to still be using IE6? IMHO, it is not. They've had plenty of time and money to upgrade their web applications, instead they waste the budget elsewhere on less important things.
