So that's not a security hole in the browser but a security hole in the head of the user... that's way different.
Furthermore, the article you are referencing says the same thing - the user is giving permission to the app to run. So what is the issue here? Do you want a new security model because you don't like the old one? Do you just want the exploits to all be fixed at the same time? Do you want a host of new features without paying for it? I don't think that 1 or 2 are going to happen. 1 is improbable, 2 is impossible So what's the issue? Just use Firefox. - Matt Small -----Original Message----- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 11:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Internet Explorer 7 (no really!)

For instance http://news.com.com/A+question+of+safety/2009-1001_3-208208.html But one could also point to the browser-OS integration and using the browser as delivery mechanism for OS patches. Malware can try to access the same hooks and all is needed is tricking the user into clicking Yes once.
