Yeah true,
In my opinion this isn't a Google problem, its a Microsoft problem.
Its not a suprise either that Microsoft's browser has such poor security, more reason to stay on alternatives like Firefox.

Do you think the Google Desktop could also be spyware as well?


By the way you can make links in this forum by using the following code:
Code: [Select]

[url=insert the link here]the text displayed[/url]

For example:
[url=http://www.hacker.co.il/security/ie/css_import.html]Google Desktop Exposed: Exploiting an Internet Explorer Vulnerability to Phish User Information.[/url]

Displays:
Google Desktop Exposed: Exploiting an Internet Explorer Vulnerability to Phish User Information. (http://www.hacker.co.il/security/ie/css_import.html)

Or click on the (http://www.microsuck.com/forums/images/editor/createlink.gif) button.

Edit:
what the fuck, using url tags in code tags shouldn't gernerate links should it?

P.S. as the aricle says, it isn't google's fault, it's a "severe design flaw in Internet Explorer" :D
