Very interesting information but I'm unclear why you posted it here.

I happened across a post recently which stated .......

"I am still using IE6 and I have no interest in going to IE 7, 8, or 9.
Mine is hardened to the max and plus and I am extremely happy with it.
Besides I am not able to do what I need to with any of the newer
versions. They (MS) took out all the codes from the newer ones that is
needed for my work"

IE6

<q/p>

This version of Internet Explorer is widely derided for its security
issues and lack of support for modern web standards, making frequent
appearances in "worst tech products of all time" lists, with some
publications labeling it as the "least secure software on the planet."

Can you, or anyone else, suggest what type of work might require the use
of a browser with so many flaws?

WHY could another, safer, browser not be used for such work?

TIA

Because of its vulnerability/exploitation vector factor.

Of course.

What type of work might require the use of a browser with so many flaws?

WHY couldn't another, safer, browser be used for such work?

On Nov 6, 11:15*am, "Peter Foldes" <ok...@hotmail.com>

........ failed to answer a straight-forward question, which was:-

What type of work might require the use of a browser with so many
flaws?

WHY couldn't another, safer, browser be used for such work?

Surely, if anyone would know the answer, it's you Mr Foldes!

Please share.

Computerworld - An exploit of an unpatched Internet Explorer
vulnerability has been added to a popular crimeware kit, a move that
will probably push Microsoft to fix the flaw with an emergency update, a
security researcher said Sunday.

Meanwhile, a prominent vulnerability expert has sided with Microsoft,
which has said the bug will be difficult to exploit in Internet Explorer
8 (IE8), the most popular version of the company's browser.

Last week, Microsoft warned users of its IE6, IE7 and IE8 browsers that
hackers were already exploiting a vulnerability in the programs by
tricking them into visiting malicious or compromised Web sites. Once at
such a site, users were subjected to a "drive-by" attack that required
no action on their part to succeed.
