Well I downloaded the update last night from MS , restarted the puter and this "test" still seems to show I'm vulnerable based on their "test" ?

Well, it's two different things in question here. This test apparently exploits a new problem, different from the one that the latest MS patch fixes. You can either switch to a non-vulnerable browser, such as Firefox, or you can tweak your settings in IE to not allow such things. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security, highlight the Internet zone, and select "Custom Level". Scroll down until you find the setting that says "Navigate sub-frames across different domains" and select "disable" - hit "Okay", and back out. Re-run the test, and it'll no longer work.

If you tend to visit websites that (legitimately) rely on multiple domains for different frames, this may have the side-effect of not allowing such websites to load properly. That's not especially common, so I don't think it's likely that you'll have any real problems with changing the setting, but try it out and see if it breaks any sites you usually use.

Thanks for clearing that up. I used the "Prompt" option so I'll be abe to see if this ever actually becomes an issue. By the way, I don't see where Microsoft is to blame if IE already has the built in option to turn off this suspicious "navigating."

Thanks, it worked for me, too.

Thanks!

Your advice in post #37 worked, at least against the test site!

Big thanks from me and the IE browser. Any suggestions for NS v7.1?

It doesn't seem to have all those options at either Tools or Edit > Preferences, as IE does.
