Re: Anatomy of a Drive-by-Install
That video plays upside down! Can't watch that.
I see Spazbox no longer exists? I guess all this publicity drove the site off?
I still can't believe anyone would click through the expired certificates warning or would install that very suspicious Active X on IE or any of those things. If you are that ignorant then you have no business owning a computer. Plus what sites are people going to where they see a lot of Java Applets? I NEVER see Java applets except when I go to the Speakeasy sites to speed test. I don't even have Java for Fx which I use 90% of the time. I don't need Java so I sure wonder what kinds of sites people are visiting that use so much Java applets.

you are seeing the video upside down?
i viewed it again in winamp and windows media player{10}, and it plays fine here.
one of my favoutite sites is launch.yahoo.com, and you need java to play launchcast.
plus i have a online TV app. which needs java to run.
oh and not to mention pr0n.
java is indespensible. |

| Yes, I'm seeing it upside down. I played it more than once hoping it would right itself but no luck. Maybe I don't have the right codec for it. Ahhh...I didn't think about this sooner but I suppose I could flip the screen with nVidia and invert it and then it would be right side up. Of course the Winamp controls would be upside down but that might not matter. I'll try that tomorrow.
I didn't realize you need Java for online TV. I avoid Yahoo but yeah if you like launchcast and pron!  then I suppose you do need Java.

I just avoid any site that won't show me pics or vid clips without Java. Ther are plenty of free ones that will.
Besides, P2P-ing for pr0n is, IMHO, a lot safer and more fruitful than those websites. Just run it as a limited account and lock it down.

Strange really, in some respects -I use IE, but as noted no activeX or Java unless needed. Firefox has become a popular hunting ground, so it's moot weather one uses IE or Firefox!
The Java disable noted by ElJay is most important, JavaSun is great if one knows how to configure the latest updates;)
Of course safe hex is the answer to most problems people suffer Few 'Surfers' realize the value of the 'electronic condom'
