Just making sure: a poorly configured Internet Explorer would be the...uh..."factory" settings? From Micro$oft?
IE foodfights aside, check out www.spyaxe.com sometime. I like finding out what I can about how these outfits work.
Hosted in the Ukraine. Owned by an outfit out of Manila. I won't go into what they use for hosting...
I downloaded the program from their site and checked it for viruses. Panda didn't find the file to be rogue. Opened it using Filealyser and got this error message twice:
"pkConvertSecurityDescriptor.ConvertSecurityDescriptorToStringSecurityDescriptor failed (The access control list (ACL) structure is invalid)"
That's a new one on me.
I'm not too inclined on giving the app a test run on this box. Nor do I have a throwaway laying around.
One caveat: I wouldn't want to go to the spyaxe site using IE's defaults.
