Re: Taking off the gloves, help me get punched out

For the last couple of days I have tested a pile of sites with one of my systems and it has defected every attack thus far, but I wanted to see what would happen with a 'default' system and it wasn't good. Now the trick is to go back and try a couple more tests and see what the factors are to defending against this, so we can pass on the 'easy way' to protection with some facts and tests to back up the suggestions. So I'm getting ready to run a test using a non-admin level user and see how much of a difference that makes. I will spend a little more time looking at the default settings for the AV and see if it really does skip scanning wmf files by default.

Great! I was just going to ask you if you could try this if you had not already.

Why would i be in for a wake up? Ive done 2 things diffrent to protect my self used the unoffical patch and unregged the dll. I probably would not ever get infected via this route any ways as i dont surf the sites that would be the top users of the exploit.

Now this is one patch that I will install regardless of any potential risk of it hoseing my system. Simply put I use thumb nail and preview to find my textures etc for the 3d models I make.

It would take alot more than this to scare me in to cripling my self by running as a limited user.
