I knew there was a reason for sticking with Netscape. I loathe and detest IE, and now I know why.

Thanks. I have always wondered what a web bug was.
Now if I can just figure out "private headers". I have searched and searched on the internet and can't find out anything meaningful.

I knew there was a reason for sticking with Netscape. I loathe and detest IE, and now I know why.Netscape. I used to use Netscape. But then I found Opera^, a small very fast browser. I still use Netscape, but only for email. Opera is the best! Give it a try.

Zone Alarm is a firewall, meaning it controls certain types of traffic from hitting your machine and leaving your machine. If IE goes to a web page that contains the exploit code, it will gladly execute localally on your machine whether you have a firewall in place or not. Same thing with anti-virus. Someone could format your hard drive and a firewall and anti-virus can't do a thing about it. People put way too much trust in those things.

You're welcome.
I can't tell you about private headers. There's still so much I've yet to learn.

Wait a minute. Maybe I don't understand.
If I have ZoneAlarm set to disallow "mobile code" from a website, then you're saying that it can execute anyway?
