RE: HOW TO BREAK XP SP2 POPUP BLOCKER: kick it in the nut !

["James Patterson Wicks" <pwicks () oxygen com>]

This is what one of our developers came up with:

"I could only find one bypass that uses the DHTML Edit Control ActiveX
control (clsid:2D360201-FFF5-11d1-8D03-00A0C959BC0A) installed with the
IE. 

An example of this is http://www.malware.com/flopup.html

This still showed a popup even when I said block all popups. It
basically uses this ActiveX control to execute a javascript as follows:
x.DOM.Script.execScript(shellscript.toString());
x.DOM.Script.setTimeout("shellscript()");

You could either disable this control (which I don't know if there are
programs that depend on it). You could also disallow ActiveX controls
which would break Sharepoint among other things."

Any comments?
