Subject: Internet explorer 6 execution of arbitrary code
 (An analysis of the 180 Solutions Trojan)

I haven't installed SP2 yet since I heard a lot of complaints from people
who claimed it caused instability, it had memory management issues, some
drivers didn't work, security measures a bit too much in your face etc

But I reviewed the list of changes sometime back and I concur, it looks very
promising, I think in the near future an IE exploit will be a rare
occurrence as opposed to a bi weekly event

When run remotely:

Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: http://62.131.86.111/security/idiots/repro/installer.htm

When run locally, software installation is blocked. 

Using IE 6.0.2900.2096 SP2, WinXP SP2

I've gotta say that SP2 has some VERY nice protection builtin.  On the
downside, I still havn't figured out how to turn it off ;)
