I guess I should have specified that we have several
locations all running "legit" Symantec AV Corporate
Edition, and all the servers and workstations are patched
not only by simple MS updates, but by MS Base Line
Security Analyzer patches on a weekly basis. Not to
mention the firewall, ISA server, Spybot, etc... So
making a blanket statement that all users who have these
things on their machines or on their networks are NOT
having these issues is not true. I don't disagree with
you that it COULD be a 3rd party issue, but it has to be
related to a IE 6.0 only since this is the only Browser,
that I know of so far, that is effected. Have you ever
manually checked your registry? Just running programs
like Ad-Aware and Spybot are not enough, especially for
new spyware or viruses that will not be picked up by the
scans. I have checked the registries line by line and
found nothing. Now, unless this is a revolutionary new
spyware program or virus that has just been created,
which it could be, then it must be something else. Since
it only effects IE 6.0, then it could be a flaw in IE 6.0
software that has not been published yet.
To sum it all up, to state the it could only be a 3rd
party issue, is not entirely correct. Although it is a
possibility it is not the only one. I'm not dealing with
just a few computers on a little domain, I'm dealing with
hundreds of machines across a large LAN/WAN, so basic IT
procedures and functions such as AV, Firewall, security
updates, are taken care of 24/7. As for the company you
work for, if I'm not mistaken www.mvps.org is the company
and as stated by your home page, "Microsoft is in no way
affiliated with, nor offers endorsement of, this site."
So unless you work for Microsoft and your web page is not
entirely factually correct in it's statements, then you
are a 3rd party company, that I don't feel like posting
my comments to.
Cheers!
