From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 8 Jun 2010 11:28 The Web site requires that I enable JavaVirus to effect a download. JavaVirus is an attempt to run unconstrained and unverifiable code on my machine, and is therefore by definition an attack. JavaVirus is one of the most popular malware vectors, second only to ActiveVirus controls. Bottom line: if you've been taken out once by a JavaVirus attack, you will disable it from all sites. I was taken out twice. There will not be a third time. joe On Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:22:33 +0100, Stephen Wolstenholme <steve(a)tropheus.demon.co.uk> wrote: >On Mon, 07 Jun 2010 13:41:51 -0400, Joseph M.

I was taken out twice. There will not be a third time. Joe: what about building a virtual machine just to access JavaScript web sites? Giovanni

Some ideas (you didn't answer my question about ISA server, so they may not be applicable): 1-Find the remote port where Wilcat! is trying to connect to (use tcpview or something similar for this). Dealing with web forums, I suspect that 80 is the port :-) 2-If you are using ISA server then install NTLMaps. Adjust its configuration according to your Windows domain, user and password. Also adjust the listening port to the one found in the 1st step.

I really don't want to have to deal with the security issues, and a VM is just a vulnerable as a real machine. And if my VM gets corrupted, I have to be able to restore it to a clean state, so I haven't won anything. Overall, it doesn't give me anything that using a separate machine doesn't already give me (which is my current solution) but ultimately, the best security is not allowing unconstrained code to run on the client machine. joe On Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:36:17 +0200, Giovanni Dicanio <giovanniDOTdicanio(a)REMOVEMEgmail.com> wrote: > >On 08/06/2010 17:28, Joseph M.
