guess what! more spyware!

this is a pretty new one and i'm pretty sure i remember seeing something flick up for a second when i was surfing 2 days ago

Today when i visited oprano and clicked the board link a search bar came up on the left with a lycos search and a preloaded string - this is supposed to happen randomly at various sites.

Look here first:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Pribi

some, but little, help here:

good luck!!


:grrr:

I know both browsers are good and I'm beginning to ask if you've got shares or something, BUT do you whole heartedly believe that if all the attention turned from Microsoft's Internet Explosion to these browsers that they would hold out... after a short period of trial and error from "security experts" I don't think so

It's only because no one has gone after these browsers, YET!
They will have holes, flaws and breeches... we just don't know where yet.

Me I'll just turn off ActiveX, run Norton update every day in the background and hide behind both my routers firewall and the one on my pc, and surf with the browser that works even if the page is coded kinda sloppy knowing that today might be the day.

The only real way to avoid most spyware, is to never hit 'yes' on any website, and never download any piece of software

It's more a case of being active and up-to-date with your virus and anti-spyware programs. Most spyware is much easier to remove than virus's, because they are consistant from system to system, they install in the same place and do the same thing, so eventually, the anti-spyware programs will get them. Virus's tend to manipulate themselves around your computers configuration and file structure, so they are much nastier, but ironically its alot easier to get spyware on your machine.

Some additional links to uninstalling this one:

I NEVER click yes... but with ActiveX set to run unsigned controls you don't even need to click yes to most autoinstallers...
Thats true, but I thought initially MSIE is set to medium-low security settings, and all the Active X components is set to 'prompt' ... I could be wrong though. Either way, all those features should always be set to 'prompt' regardless. Better to have it asking you than to run something automatically.

And I agree totally, Zone Alarm Pro is a fantastic program, very very very handy.

HP, I know you are obsessed with recommending these options because they work for you ... and you probably think those of us who still use IE are stupid ...

But I design websites .... I need to see what my websites will look like to the bulk of surfers .... so while those browsers work for you, they make my work more difficult.

Same reason I switched from netscape years ago - i want my sites to LOOK as impressive as possible to the most amount of people and stylesheets/layers are compulsory!

IE will continue to lead the way until a decent product comes out that is similar - even with all its security flaws people will still use it MOST ... after all, its prepackaged with pc's, why would the average computer user download and install anything else? Most computer users don't realize its a hole in ie security ...

Hmmm....I post one thread to see if anyone else is coding to them and a couple of recommendations and I'm obsessed? Silly girl, you enjoy a good spirited arguement too much! :P

You are right though, I do think most people are stupid, but it has nothing to do with their choice of browsers!

Best I can tell the only thing that Opera and Firefox do not do is ActiveX, and that's where 99% of the exploits are. All the usual plug-ins are available, Java is there via the real deal from Sun instead of the bastardized Microsoft version.

Yup, it would take something like AOL switching away from IE to truly make a remarkable shift happen quickly.

However, here in the states, TechTV and most of the geek websites and publications have been recommending Firefox in particular. Geeks and powerusers are moving, will others follow? Likely depends on how well Microsoft addresses security in SP2. If SP2 successfully shuts the doors this is a non-issue within a month and Firefox and Opera continue as nothing more than a geek toy. However, unless ActiveX is removed or crippled, I dont see it happening.
