a safe browsercheck is performed, unfortunately it's in german, here's a short description: exploiting a bug in the newest (=latest official update + restart) internet explorer these guys copy a 'browsertest.exe' into your main directory (C:\). everyone who finds this file on his comp after visiting the page should seriously consider changing browser. the new mozilla 1.5 is safe, but there are more out there, dunno details though the test is safe but imagine, that exe could contain everything |

my anti-virus immediately blocked it. |

Do I have to click on something else to get tested? I'm running Mozilla 1.4 on Windows. |

no. if you aren't protected, it should already be there now. do a Search. |

my Norton AV blocked it |

went to the page with firebird 0.6.1 and don't see the file on my comput0r... this is a good thing, right? |
||||||||

|
|
yep, try with IE if you have it |
||||||||
|
|

|

And with IE: "Sie sind verwundbar!" Which I take it is German for "things are not so good for you eh my friend" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, look at your c:\ directory, there is an exe there and it has been executed - the warning message, in english 'you are vulnurable' (i think) |

ALERT: MALICIOUS SCRIPT DETECTED presumably thats good? i'm good with security anyway, spybot+ad-aware+anti-virus+virus auto-detect+big-bastard-firewall=sleep at night |

Do you have a router/firewall (like you know a box that comes between your computer and DSL modem) or are you using a software firewall? If you're using software I recommend Sygate Personal Firewall, which is free and unlike ZoneAlarm is actually stable. |

if you're on 56k you won't be targeted by other users, you'll only get viruses etc from dodgy sites. on broadband, all these are a must. trust no-one :) |

You must be a h4X0r encouraging people to let down their guard. I mean sure ya can't run a warez site off someone's 56k connection but you might be able to extract interesting passwords, credit card numbers, etc etc Trust no one, not even dobbin! |

software. hardware seems a bit ott, im only a single user. zonealarm is a nightmare, sygate was awkward & didnt like norton a-v auto-protect running so i went for norton firewall. needs updating daily though, although thats not much of a problem. i did get annoyed that a trojan got through and attached itself to my java plug-in last week. |
