    Nope it’s just you ;) :D Kidding :D You can’t edit a post over 7 days old, otherwise people go back and edit posts and a thread suddenly makes no sense ;) :D


    Ahhh you'll have to do better than that to get past my security. 1st link comes up as “Done” and nothing happens. The 2nd link just says “No Object Found” ;) :D

    Come on, you gotta make them harder... ;) :D

    Cheers :D

    Blackspear,

    looks like ur defenses are in good shape - congrats

    if you want a kick in the pants and a reminder of why you switched browsers, dust off your IE and try it again, that second link has a bunch of nice things it tries to do looking at the proxo log window...

    saving grace for IE users would be SP2 and alternative defenses...

    ___________________________

    I wonder if management here could make an exception so I can continue to edit post #2 - doubt it - so additional alpha exploits will have to be posted like E & F...

    not a big deal either way ;)

    Indeed they are, and a big thank you to yourself and Kye-u :D :D :D


    Just tried that, still my defenses kicked in, though they went berserk this time, Spyware Guard pounced, as did Prevx and Process Guard. It still didn’t get past, but not as good as using Firefox ;) :D


    I shall ask…

    Cheers :D

    That's just fine, it means you passed.

    Again you passed. Unless you want to make your heart race, I'd leave it alone in IE ;) :D

    You appear to have good security Rita :D

    Cheers :D

    My pleasure Rita :D


    My pleasure PB, any time I can help you it is indeed a great pleasure, yourself and Kye-u are what taught me about taking my security to the next level. I now run a very tight ship, and it is simple to install, use and maintain.

    Again many thanks...

    All the best.

    Cheers :D

    In my next update I may add the following Browser privacy test:

    http://www.anonymizer.com/tr.cgi?f=...est&jt=privacytest/2.0/privacytest.cgi?test=1

    Pretty cool... :cool:

    BTW... the answer is not necessarily to buy the stuff at the site where this test takes place.

    The test actually pulled fake data from me on one test, when they were able to pull anything, most of the tests 5 of 8 came up empty handed; they got my IP address. No big deal - at all. ;)
