John:
Right you are. It occurred to me that if we spent all our time correcting
errors, all of our computers would remain broken. I will therefore find
another hobby.

And Steve, I assume that you meant to write..."does to
your hair" rather than...." does to you hair" ;-)

Hi Steve,
But, no offence intended by my post...just a reminder
that we are all human.
I actually sometimes wish that when I send a message,
it would lay in cyber-limbo until I can read it again
before it wings its way into the ether.
I often think, 'how could that grammatical or other
error have been initiated from these old fingers'.
Cheers,
John Lehn

Subject: Re: Spelling "corecrtion"
One trick I use is to remove the "To" address (and any CC or BCC
addresses) and copy it into the draft email temporarily.
That way, I can compose the most flaming email I want -- without
accidentally sending it. Then, I can edit it to a more acceptable
version or not even send it. If I click on the "send" button, the
email program stops and tells me I haven't addressed it to anyone.
Whether I'm sending a carefully constructed business email or a
response to an inane comment, this trick let's me absolutely sure
that I'm ready to send the email. [Ever clicked Send "automatically"
without remembering to attach the attachment? I used to realize it
immediately, but it was too late...]
I don't use it all the time, but, it's nice when I really want to
have that fail-safe.

Internet Explorer Window Loading Race Condition Address Bar Spoofing
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA19521
VERIFY ADVISORY:

CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Spoofing
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x
http://secunia.com/product/11/
DESCRIPTION:
Hai Nam Luke has discovered a vulnerability in Internet Explorer, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to a race condition in the loading of web
content and Macromedia Flash Format files (".swf") in browser windows. This
can be exploited to spoof the address bar in a browser window showing a
Flash file from a malicious web site.
NOTE: The impact of exploitation is reduced because the URL of the
malicious Flash file is visible in the title of the browser window.
The vulnerability has been confirmed on a fully patched system with
Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft Windows XP SP1/SP2. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Disable Active Scripting support.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Hai Nam Luke

Pam, you are forgiven. LOL!! You can only misspell 3 times a year

is that owned by DELL? NOT!!) and to your annual SummerFEST and State Fair.
It is a freakin' good rockin' time. OOOOPPPSSS...sorry...that is showing my
age...LOL! Anytime there is beer and rock and roll, I think of Wisconsin
specially around this time. I probably will come down there again soon for
any of the above. Just don't tell my mom. <G>

WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE:
McAfee VirusScan 10.x
http://secunia.com/product/9052/
McAfee SecurityCenter 6.x
http://secunia.com/product/6437/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in McAfee VirusScan, which potentially
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in a 3rd-party
compression library (DUNZIP32.dll) when processing virus definition files.
This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted
definition file.
The vulnerability is related to:

may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to the fixed version of DUNZUIP32.dll via online update.

Hi TERRY.
Damn it!!
Please read "erry" as Terry, on my last post. Not
done intentionally.
I have an old keyboard with real sticky keys, but it's
like old shoes; you get used to them and just don't
want to replace them.
Whenever my daughter visits, and checks her email on
this computer, and she always has a go at me about
this keyboard.
