    Netscape 7.01 now contains a feature which previously was only part of Internet Explorer. Unfortunately this is the feature which allows the owner of a malicious website to use windows scripting to run arbitrary code on our computers. I am not sure if this applies to Version 6 or 7.0, but it was not part of Version 4.79.
    More information on scripting vulnerabilities can be found at http://www.guninski.com/index.html

    :rolleyes:

    If this vulnerability exists, it's the best kept secret this month! ;)

    Sure. Mail or PM a link. Oh, and BTW Ramona, please do not read this post as I'd hate for you to know that I have Nutscrape installed.
