Clint, it is because you are running the older release. As firefoxurl
was added in 2.0.0.2 for Vista compatibility and it works due to a flaw
in how IE handles input validation. Security apps won't help you with
this bug.
BTW, your email server seems to act like Gmail in not displaying your
posts. Thought you might like to know that.

I went to that URL when I posted that and I couldn't get any of
the links to work. They were all "The page cannot be
displayed". I then tried what you suggested and I also got
"The page cannot be displayed". Maybe it's because I have
v1.5x installed, (or, because of all my security programs
installed).

Clint, have you tried the bug?
Open IE and put this into the address field
"firefoxurl://larholm.com", and it will execute the bug and use
the CMD.exe to attempt to open Firefox. It will launch Firefox
and ask you an External Protocol Request to handle the link
where you click Launch application or cancel. The
firefoxurl://larholm.com takes you to the page of the developer
who discovered the bug,
http://larholm.com/2007/07/10/internet-explorer-0day-exploit/
And all this in an attempt to handle Vista compatibility.
