RSS Feed Protection
« on: August 05, 2006, 02:20:40 PM »
Read the following article and wondered if Avast plans on offering protection to our RSS feed programs and/or browser supported feeds such as in Opera. TIA

Simple solution is for the users to go into their options and disable scripts, applets, and plug-ins from being launched within feeds.
That doesn't need any changes in avast! just some prudent caution on the part of the user.  :)

Thanks ...assuming your reader provides those options.
