My Norton's just blocked a browser exploit with a high security risk...
just now when I entered the main board forum here on MTSTars.  I would like to know what that is all about! 
its called exploit
okay, i just went back to that site to read it and now the box comes up again that says virus threat detected.  heal, quarantine, ignore, virus name:  Exploit.  so, obviously something is not right.  i guess i won't be going there again and beware to anyone else who tries it. 
Which web browser are you using?
Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Mozilla?  I had a weird problem with one of my websites that I couldn't access all of a sudden.  I think I deleted an internet utility, registry entry, or some java doohickey, or it's possible they changed their website.  Anyway, I downloaded Mozilla and use that for this specific website now.  I don't have time to mess with trouble shooting Internet Explorer, and I have a new computer sitting in boxes behind me that I haven't had time to set up yet.  Give Mozilla a try just to see what happens.
what browser are you using?
With internet explorer I was so now I'm using Firefox, everything is going fine.

I suspect it has to do something with the security breach with IE.
What is your fave browser?
Mine is Firefox - love how fast it is, plus tabbed browsing rules! Much better and safer than old Internet Explorer, I must say. BTW, the newest version of Firefox comes out today (free download) which is supposed 2B even better!
Check your browser
Possibly updated or reinstalled?

If you have Firefox, go to Tools ---> Options ----> Content. IE is similar.


You will see a link for "colors." You can check to see what the current settings are for "visited" and "unvisited" links.

I know that IE is an internet browser and I know that Windows is an OS!
Sheesh!  My point is they are both made by Microsoft and they both have endless updates.  That was my point.  Apparently it went over the heads of some.  Next time I'll try and dumb down my response.

Microsoft has a patch for the browser

I'm ready to sign! But when I cut & paste it to my browser,
nothing comes up.
A much better browser to use than Internet Explorer. You will love it!

Switching your internet browser doesn't automatically
make you immune to ALL viruses. Firefox is a browser just like Internet Explorer. The Windows XP viruses come through your operating system, not your browser. Viruses can also come through your email program. Your ports can be hacked no matter which browser you use, too.
downloading a tabbed browser will solve that problem

Is the tool bar in your internet browser?... is the emial web based or Outlook?
