When run remotely:

Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0

When run locally, software installation is blocked. 

Using IE 6.0.2900.2096 SP2, WinXP SP2

I've gotta say that SP2 has some VERY nice protection builtin.  On the downside, I still havn't figured out how to turn 
it off ;)

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Internet explorer 6 execution of 
arbitrary code (An analysis of the 180 Solutions Trojan)

Just when I though it was save to once more use internet 
explorer I received an email bringing my attention to this 
webpage http://216.130.188.219/ei2/installer.htm   that 
according to him used an exploit that affected fully patched 
internet explorer 6 browsers. Being rather skeptical I 
carelessly clicked on the link only to witness how it 
automatically installed addware on my pc!!!
 
Now there had been reports about 0day exploits making rounds 
for quite some time like for instance this post
 
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/363338/2004-05-11/2004-05-17/0 
 
However I hadn't seen any evidence to support this up until 
now Thor Larholm as usual added to the confusion by 
deliberately spreading disinformation as seen in this post
 
http://seclists.org/lists/bugtraq/2004/May/0153.html
 
Attributing it to and I quote "just one of the remaining IE 
vulnerabilities that are not yet patched"

I've attempted to write up an analysis that will show that 
there are at least 2 new and AFAIK unpublished 
vulnerabilities (feel free to proof me
wrong) out there in the wild, one being fairly sophisticated 

You can view it at:

http://62.131.86.111/analysis.htm

Additionally you can view a harmless demonstration of the 
vulnerabilities at

http://62.131.86.111/security/idiots/repro/installer.htm

Finally I also attached the source files to this message
