[hakhawk]

ok, was checking emails, and i got a typical spam email pretending to be ebay.

as usual i clicked the link for shits n giggles.

now, this is the first time ive done one since i upgraded to firefox 2.0

heres what happened, how awesome is that.

You'll come unstuck one day by clicking on those links hakhawk.

Just to be safe it might be wise to change your passwords mate.

clicking the link wont have me lose my password, clicking the link then entering details will.

I always type nice messages in the username/password box for the baiters to read

Whats does that little 'this is not web forgery' bit mean at the bottom? Is that telling you that that message itself isnt fogery? Or that you can click on that to tell it it isnt forgery.

Umm, Internet explorer 7 does all that...i much prefer IE over Firefox, Firefox uses up twice as much resource as IE and pages always load buggy.

haven't had any resource problems with Firefox myself, and the only really buggy loading I've personally spotted were pages that were pretty dodgy in IE as well.


The main problem with IE is all the viruses that are designed to exploit it.
Although I guess with Firefox's popularity it's probably getting a bit of viral attention too.

I'll admit I haven't used IE 7 much, just on TAFE computers, so maybe the viruses are less of a problem now.

yeh, firefox is a bit of a memory hog atm, its a bug i think.

but it only requires closing it and reopening, it saves all your tabs and reloads them.

i havent bothered with ie7 to be honest, im more than happy with firefox.

hvent really had any pages load "buggy" in ff, theres the odd site that isnt made properly and freaks out, but nothing to worry about and not very often at all, as i cant even think of the last one that didnt work.

drewins, i suspect the "this isnt a forgery" link is to tell ff its a safe link, which i wasnt going to click to find out anyway.
