    Yep, according to the article, all you have to do is visit the webpage, and it does all the work against you, without you even knowing it.

    Keep your virus protection up to date, and do trojan scans at least once a week, I do.

    The fix is in!!!

    Yes its true as I have found it~However the sites have been showing it off and just DISPLAY YOUR ~C~DRIVE in a small window~~~ !!!!!!!!

    I have tested the site with FULL RESTRICTIONS~Everything ActiveX'Java,Scripts~ALL OFF and it still walks through including 2 software firewalls and trojan programs running!!

    Only way to stop it I found was to run anonymizer proxy!won't allow it to load!!!

    Strange Stuff!Had someone walk through my system when surfing couple years ago supposedly from Israel-claimed to be some kid.By the time I got to the bottom of his page it Read~Do you want to see whats on YOUR computer?And there was MY C~Drive!Shut it down and RAN away!!!!!
