Charles:

Probably... ...he would not have any of the Java working so his surfing would be more boring. Things like TV listings would not work... ...getting the exposure dealt with is better.

George

Took the test....No Java stuff is running on here...LOL... The Krakatoa volcano once exploded near ...JAVA.... I passed this test with flying colors...

All right you buncha smart a$$e$ you had your fun , now tell me what does this mean ... lay language pls

The local computer zone in XP SP2 doesn't have permissions to execute
script, so I'm not sure that there's a real exploit here. I suspect perhaps
the scanner needs to be updated?

Brad:

When you get SP2, it prompts you to death... ...from what I remember (before I got rid of it) if you allow it, you allow all sites to run Java Scripts. Anyone have a better answer? I'm not totaly sure what actions would be best for Brad.

George

Does this go along with your statement George?

"JavaScript has nothing to do with Java. They aren't related.

This is the guy that sent me on a mega multi-page fix ... it did not work ...

 

[Brad]

Well, I'll get to the bottom of this, sooner or later . I'll hafta bug these MS MVP's untill they fluke an answer

Actually, it's all Nick's fault for posting that friggin Scanit link in the first place

Brad:

Looks like you are messed up and getting worse... ...don't ya just love Windows and these damned add-ons which turn out to be a royal pain... ...BTW, SP2=.

I'd find someone else who knows more about your woes to get things right if I were you.

I'd take a gander at the zone settings... ...the complaint is telling you there is a conflict from the looks of it.

Regards,
George

You're right George, I think I know who to ask now. If you want answers to Windoze woes don't ask an MS guy, they're prob the ones who screwed it up to begin with!!



now how could I quote you even bfr you posted??

Brad do you have sunw java on or ms java on? If ms java then goto ie-tools-i options - advanced - and click on use sun java and restart and try the test again

 

[gsobier]

...ya, those kinds of things can conflict and cause problems... ...there is not enough information clearly written the way I see it for the average Joe/Jane to get this right... ...Windows lets you install many things which will conflict without warning... ...very STUPID on Microsoft's part...

Sun Java was enabled all along.

I gotta split for a while ...

PS That's where I'm headed George!!

...if you contact MicroSCRAP (I'm being nice and polite here with this) directly it costs an arm and leg... ...better to consult someone on a tech forum ...

RE: Cross Domain Scripting Vulnerability

I may have found a solution, see this link .

The fix calls for:

1) The vendor recommends that the "Drag and drop or copy and paste files" option is disabled.
2) Set security level to high for the "Internet" zone.

However, when I set the Security level to High it always reverts to Medium.
Can anyone suggest why this happens? Am I overlooking anything?

TIA

Be very carefull...a ''fix'' is sometimes part of the problem...Or part of another one..

 

[Brad]

That is so "profound"!!

Be very carefull...a ''fix'' is sometimes part of the problem...Or part of another one..

If you don't have a specific solution keep this kind of "advice" to yourself .
