Umm, no. Hackers would be the ones finding it and trying to help. CRACKERS would be having fun along with there script kiddie counter parts.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Well, Gore, speaking of breaking things, I downleaded the last "patch" a month or so ago, for IE and it slowed IE down to the point that I finally uninstalled it and switched to Mozilla Firebird. As far as the rest of the so-called patches, I think I'll trust my firewall, antivirus, and anti trojan software. Microsoft patches are sometimes almost as bad as the potential problem, and you don't know until they're installed. What if one of them can't be uninstalled and the damned thing crashes your OS? I keep saying, my next box will be an Apple with OSX, at least it's BSD.

Update Story....More Information
C/Net News.com has this artical on it: News.com
The flaws were reported this week by researcher Liu Die Yu, who posted the information on public security messaging boards, and appear to exist on PCs that are patched with the latest Microsoft security updates. Users are advised to switch off active scripting in Internet Explorer until a patch becomes available, or to use a non-IE browser.
One of the flaws is a cross-site scripting vulnerability, allowing scripts from one security domain (such as the Internet) to execute with the security privileges of another domain (such as My Computer).
Well, at least it is alittle bit more information.

I now use Firebird and Thunderbird instead of IE and Outlook Express. Firebird has more features than IE and is more secure. The same goes for Thunderbird  . Download both, make them default, and forget about Windows internet security for a while  .

Ehhm. Only the bugs in IE en OE. There's lots of other security related problems with windows. Just take alook at that RPC bug.
