No it isn't. Not one case of this happening to anyone, anywhere at anytime has been documented. It is all theoretical. MS acknowledges it and is working on a third > "fix", Mr. Oops. Good for them.

Don't answer to Alias, or he will never stop to bombard this group with worthless information that nobody here wants to hear or see. Besides, we are all happy with IE8 so nobody needs to tell us that we are supposed to be unhappy. greetings Roland Schweiger

You would get confused and of course, your system would become infected because you have no clue how to prevent infections.

Warnings about vulnerabilities in s/w you may be using is worthless information ? And this particular vulnerability has been around a long time and MS already attempted to fix it twice, but didn't.

It is plain theory - there is NOT ONE SINGLE documented case where this has actually happened. So i do regard it as worthless information, panic-making and utterly useless because to 99,9999999999% of people using ie8, this exploit will never apply and why should other browsers not also be exploitable?

It's not theory. There were two links that documented in excruciating detail both of the previous fix attempts including what's required, exactly, to do this exploit, and how all this applies to the browser security model..... http://www.coresecurity.com/content/ie-security-zone-bypass > So i do regard it as worthless information, panic-making > and utterly useless because to 99,9999999999% of people using ie8, > this exploit will never apply and why should other browsers not also be > exploitable? Uh....Because it a different browser ? Let's see Adobe Acrobat Reader and Foxit PDF Reader both read PDF files, but I've never seen a security update for Foxit. Read the article linked above explaining exactly how and why IE would be affected.

Read the article linked above explaining exactly how > and why IE would be affected. ...."5. Non-vulnerable packages Internet Explorer 8 under Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista". Now what? Oops! 6. Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds ...."Only run IE in Protected Mode if it is available on the operating system". That is the default setting for IE8 in Windows 7. So now what? Big oops!

Quite safe seeing as it runs in a sandbox on Win Vista/7. OTOH, as the Loonix and Macboi brigade seem to think their Ossen are immune, they're more likely to be infected without knowing than anyone else. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced.

Does that irritate you cody? I sure hope it does. Oh and just WTF do you surf that makes you so paranoid about being infected...child porn sites or animal sex sites or both? Well...? Oops!...LOL!
