Hi bob3160,

After 12 hours there is the first critical flaw in IE 7.0, not a good start. You can test the vulnerability here: http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_Arbitrary_Content_Disclosure_Vulnerability_Test/

To be secure disable active scripting,

Simple solution:
If you're doing your banking or using PayPal, use FF till a patch is release.

thanks polonus...for the info

blind the spammers....that pic below will do the trick!!!

I don't know about blinding the spammers but some of us have dial-up connections so large images can slow page loading not to mention those with low resolution monitors and or graphics cards will find the physical screen size a scroll hassle also.

ok davidr....will take it off for you guys that still have dial up and outdated graphic cards and such
have a good one my friend

I like the splash of colour in the icon. It looks rather like a fiery satellite around the blue 'e'. Hmm... a blue icon with a ring of fire... where have I seen that before? Is that perchance a fiery fox running rings around IE?

FreewheelinFrank,
Your obvious prejudice is showing.....

Joke, Bob.

Just a word of warning: DON'T do it again.

Thank you.

Hi malware fighters,

All jokes apart there are cybercriminals that have made a phishing site that links to an  Internet Explorer version, but tries to download a Trojan Horse in stead on the visitor's machine. Through an e-mail that seems to come from support@microsoft.com, and a link to Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, users are lured to go there.

The site looks like the genuine Internet Explorer site from Microsoft's. Via exploits in the browser a Trojan downloader is being installed. In related new FF fans registered the  ie7.com website. (The Register)

This is Information on Reports of IE7 Vulnerability by Christopher Budd.

"We've gotten some questions here today about public reports claiming there's
a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer 7. This is an issue that we have under
investigation and so we have some technical information we can share about the
issue."
   "These reports are technically inaccurate: the issue concerned in these reports
is not in Internet Explorer 7 (or any other version) at all. Rather, it is in a
different Windows component, specifically a component in Outlook Express. While
these reports use Internet Explorer as a vector the vulnerability itself is in
Outlook Express."
   "While we are aware that the issue has been publicly disclosed, we're not
aware of it being used in any attacks against customers. We do have this under
investigation and are monitoring the situation closely and we'll take appropriate
action to protect our customers once we've completed the investigation."

I hope that helps to clarify.

Christopher
