Subject: IE exploit runs code from graphics?
I have not built up or run a full suite of tests on Mozilla,
but overall it does seem Mozilla is less vulnerable. Now one
could always post to one of the Mozilla or Firefox fora asking
what is done about such and such a vulnerability as they
should be paying attention to them.
Overall I find that Mozilla especially Firefox is more well
protected. This sort of inspires me to post to the Mozilla
fora and ask.
Have Fun,
Sends Steve
