Hi Susan, all
how do you screen for all approved ActiveX applets people might be
legitimately installing?

Subject: Re: New IE flaw and exploit sites/migration to non-MS browser
How many of you are running as non admin? Used the Group policy to adjust
and allow approved active X?
Now I'm no coder...but from threads I've seen.... Firefox's Extensions are
ripe for fun and excitement.
Is it IE that's insecure? Or how the workstations are setup in the first

We have in certain areas. It's very much reality-based that IE is less
secure and more prone to exploit than other browsers, for a number of
reasons, not the least of which is IE's architectural tie-in with the MS
Windows operating system.
