Thread Name: Tech: New weakness in IE7
Subject: RE: BS: New weakness in IE7
??? I tried it and found no vulnerability with my IE6.
Secunia is claiming to be a "security provider" and this looked to me like a "cheap trick" ad. If you click on the test button you (I) get a "popup" from Secunia saying something to the effect of "you clicked a button, ya dumbass, and it could have been a phishing ploy so you better buy our crap so we can tell you we'll do something about it."
I'll note that I've seen reviews on Secunia, and evidently was not sufficiently impressed to remember what the reviews said; but they are a known (marginal(?)) software producer.
I think the paid commercial announcement coming up on my TV has a vacuum cleaner about as interesting as this "vulnerability." I probably won't buy it either.
