Karvinen Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. FF is a lot safer than IE. OCX trojans/spyware only work in IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrstBrn Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Firefox is not totally immune, it's just at this point MORE immune than IE (a lot more for that matter). I doubt you got it from these forums, your virus scan might have been sifting through your temporary internet files when you were browsing the web and came across that. I'd run a full scan on your system if you haven't already. If you have one instance, it might have propegated at some point, so you'll want to fix or delete the other instances, so they can't do more harm.

Karvinen Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Firefox is totally immune to ActiveX trojans because it's an IE only feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
