well, i read about a hacker scenario once that utilizes IE vulnerabilities by exploiting the interests of employees. basically, you lure an employee to a website you prepared that exploits some bug in IE to install a trojan on that pc, thus bypassing firewall and other security precautions. if you think about it, it really is that easy. just imagine what a keylogger could do on the workstation of an executive or a member of congress...

I would be interested to hear just how big the danger of IE is. How could it affect the privacy of big business?, or any business for that matter? or what about the Government - could information leak from govenrment employees computers? They do something to stop that right? Bob Palliser __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
