Well duh! No ****?

I'm still not clicking on what looks suspiciously like a spam or trojan
post.

If you're genuine then maybe don't be so ****ing lazy and say what it is
you're talking about in your post.

You are limited by your OS and browser. Do you dare click on the following?

http://www.wired.com/news/infostruct...,64065,00.html

last Friday, in response to the latest security exploit

http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,63994,00.html involving
Microsoft products, the usually staid U.S. government's Computer
Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT, published a warning
http://networks.org/?src=cert:713878 strongly suggesting that users of
Microsoft's Internet Explorer should switch to another Web browser, due
to "significant vulnerabilities" in technologies included in IE.


Downloads of Mozilla and Firefox -- an advanced version of Mozilla --

spiked the day CERT's warning was released, and demand has continued to
grow. According to Chris Hofmann, engineering director at the Mozilla
Foundation, formed last July to promote the development, distribution
and adoption of Mozilla Web applications, downloads of the browsers hit
an all-time high on Thursday, from the usual 100,000 or so downloads on
a normal day to more than 200,000.

Hofmann said the Mozilla team wasn't surprised when CERT issued its

warning.

"Mozilla and Firefox downloads have increased steadily since last

fall, with the Firefox user base doubling every few months, as more
people seem to have reached their threshold level of frustration dealing
with problems with IE and Windows, and have found the Mozilla software a
good solution to solving those problems," said Hofmann. "CERT's
recommendation is just a reflection of the trend we have seen for quite
some time." Security experts said Mozilla's lack of ActiveX support
makes the browser more secure than IE. ActiveX was intended to allow
websites to add multimedia and interactive features, but has lately been
used to slide spyware onto PCs without the user's knowledge or explicit
consent.


Established in September 2003, US-CERT is a partnership between the

Department of Homeland Security and the public and private sectors.
Established to protect the nation's Internet infrastructure, US-CERT
coordinates defense against and responses to cyber attacks across the
nation.

My OS and browser are fine, I just get enough spam to know what it looks
like.
