Which means one could execute anything on your system, or change your registry settings as wanted. And this without any warning. It was before IE5.5. Since then, other flaws still exist, so take a browser security check, and stop visiting pr0n sites =) [url=http://www.beyondwonderland.com] [img]http://www.beyondwonderland.com/images/InI.gif[/img] [/url] Loading...
