Yesterday, Microsoft disclosed a security vulnerability in Windows Media Player plugin for non-Microsoft browsers that may allow an attacker to remotely run malicious programs in a user’s vulnerable PC. The vulnerability affects Windows 2000, XP and 2003 users and is related to how the Windows Media Player plug-in handles the necessary code (EMBED element.)

To protect your system run Windows Update now. In the Start menu, select All Programs and then Windows Update.

    Netscape 8.1 worked Ok with IE of microsoft, specialy the auto fill function was excellent.
    Even Google can learn a lot from this. Two field for filling in your name !… by google only one…. the first and lastname are automaticaly split… but if you have more names than two…. Yes…you are in trouble….they can learn from Netscape.

    The firefox2 browser is a piece of shit, it work only for data… but also the autofill function is of no value. Then try yo get an embedded player working on firefox2…Yes then you got it all…. nothing works … Lots of
    talk… If they realy wanted to do something
    ……get your plugin organized.
