Guest stevil Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Careful with Internet Explorer and pop-ups It uses pop-up technology to record your keystrokes, so even if you have a secure connection to a bank website (or others) it can still find out how you log in, etc. Doesn't look like it will spread, but beware... damn thieves need an ass beating, all of them.

large_x7 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 I use Mozilla. No pop-ups, ever. And since the majority of all viruses are written for IE/Outlook, I don't have to worry about them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
