Iam sorry guyz .. for using a short hand lingo Correcting myself now .. The problem was that when i was reading my mails on yahoo the media bar popped up. Then the "Download Accelerator Plus" tried to download a file named "1.exe" from a link which i could not retain. Was this due to the MS02-32 vulnerabilty? Is it possible for yahoo being infected i.e. having a malformed media file. I am running Windows XP on my system with IE 6.0.2600 on deafault security settings.Their is one more problem in my PC. Whenever i try toopen the M$ site on security updates a script error occurs. Please provide me with some info on this too.Please advice. And i really am sorry for using a short hand lingo. iam sorry. This was the first time i mailed on this list. so please excuse a newbie.
Hi Saurabh, welcome. Firstly, you might want to reconsider Download Accelerator Plus -- it was classified as spyware by some versions of of AdAware (see http://www.net-integration.net/reviews/editorials/ls.html for a bit more info). Regarding the Windows Update page, try accessing this page (using internet explorer, of course) directly: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp Does your browser give you any debug information? good luck, Cael _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
