ZoneAlarm never let it into mine to even be checked by Norton.

Well, I'm running the latest McAfee and it detected nothing of the sort.

OK, I opened it with IE and it is acting weird. I normally use Mozilla. I
agree, don't visit this sight with IE.

Ed,
It isn't my page, just saw it while surfing. I am sorry that it was full
of spam and popups. I use Mozilla and consequently have forgotten about
how awful that stuff can be. I recommend you use it to and enable pop-up
protection.
www.mozilla.org
It will install itself, import all your bookmarks and you'll wonder why you
ever used Internet Explorer. You will also want to DL the flash and java
plugins for it.

Well, I'm cheap. My multi-billion Fortune 500 company trusts it with our
network and licenses it free for every employee for home use.

I've answered this once but I'll point out that I use MOZILLA for a web
browser which is why it didn't give me any trouble, just like the guy
bragging about running Linux.

Of course Zone Alarm has a known bug where it begins running at a higher
priority than it should and slows your system to a crawl till you reboot.

It isn't news to zone alarm. The reason I know about this is because I
helped a friend figure out what was wrong with her computer and this is a
documented bug. I'm not sayint it effects all system, not even sure which
ones it does effect. If you like it, rock on. As I've said, I prefer one
piece of software rather than adding a program like that to do the work the
original program should be doing.

People are free to put whatever they want on their websites.
The real asses (not you) is the fools who run software that is so insecure
that it requires a new security patch every two weeks...and then whines when
something insecure happens. Duh.
The original poster should get a decent browser!

Never say your router table. I did get a pop up ad, and an offer to install

I used to run McAfee too. You might ask them why it doesn't
stop web pages from intalling software on your machine
without your knowledge. It's just some slimy ad spyware if
you're lucky.
Norton stopped it.

I saw the idea in a book of ideas for using your router
about a year ago. The difference is that guy did it and I
didn't.

Then it sounds Zone Alarm stops the nasty little spyware
program from using mshta.exe, while an up to date Norton AV
stops it from being installed in the first place.

Probably becuase thats not an anti-virus function. It's a security
function. A decent software based firewall would stop this as would a
correctly configured web-browser.

Sorry if this is OT, but Googling, I discovered this is apparently a type of
attack I haven't heard of before. Here's a July 29, 03 link.
http://www.nsclean.com/psc-htas.html
I'm testing a web-services app and the client uses mshta.exe. I'm going to
reboot before going back to "normal" web surfing.

News to me. I have it on 3 computers at home, another at work. One machine
stays on 24/7. The others are on 7-10 hours a day. Two of the machines are
only 400 MHz Celeron Emachines. Haven't noticed any sort of reduction of
speed after hours of use. Surfin the web on my cable modem, burning DVDs,
ripping CDs, downloading music, running Photoshop 7... you know, the usual
stuff.
I'll keep it, works great for me.

ZoneAlarm detected the mshta.exe program trying to access the web
immediately after opening that link.

I have a website on Fortune City. When the problems were pointed out to
me I contacted Fortune City. They said, yes, some of their advertisers
did use spyware. It only works, according to them, if you run with
Active-X enabled.
When I asked if they'd object if I put a warning to this effect on my web
page, they said it was fine with them. So I did.
So disable Active-X or set it to ask you for an OK and you'll be free of
spyware from any site - at least the kind that uses Active-X.
To see the warning go (with Active-X disabled) to:

I can't resist pointing out that it was just another ordinary web page to
me, a Linux user. Whatever stuff it was trying to do didn't affect me.

My e-mail address is real.
Feel free to use it.
I know how to delete spam.
Hackers are crafty little snots with no life. It never ceases to amaze how
many ways they can screw up my computers. I'm running Pest Patrol, NAV, and
ZoneAlarm (freeware). Fortunately, ZA caught it. It notifies me each time
a program tries to access the web. Worth installing if you don't have a
personal firewall yet. And, FWIW, this is on topic as the WW link caused
this discussion!
