            I clicked the demo link, and after a dozen or so page loads I appear to have gotten the standard PayPal web site... as far as I can tell? (IE6, XPSP1.) Does this mean I've turned something off that prevents that? It said to refresh the page before trying again, which I did, but I do use PayPal a lot to buy guns from Eastern Asia so whatever I was supposed to be refreshing might have been missed from a previous session? :~

                But it didn't work for me? The security article said it would be replaced by one of their pages, but shown as if it was on PayPal's. What I saw was the same as I see when I load PayPal from the "Start | Run" dialog - I highly doubt a security firm would actually create a mockup of the PayPal site on their own server as that is asking for legal action. Whilst I agree this is dangerous, what I meant was that it didn't appear to affect me.

                      I have the same set up but this is what I see in the popup with https://www.paypal.com Secunia - Internet Explorer Cross Site Scripting Demonstration This window is serving content from Secunia.com, although the Address Bar says you are visiting: https://www.paypal.com/ You can also click on the "Pad-lock" SSL icon in the bottom, which also clearly states that you are visiting: https://www.paypal.com/ This page could just as easily have stolen cookie information (e.g. usernames, passwords, session IDs, etc.), or contained malicious information spoofed as being from PayPal or any other web site, asking you to install programs or disclose sensitive information such as credit card details. This vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of any web site. Exploitation is only limited by the imagination of the attacker (phisher).

                            Wow! My browser went nuts! It wiped out the notificationn tray, the task bar and quick launch trays, and took over the entire desktop. I had to kill every instance of IE to stop it, then had to mouseover the whole screen to force Windows to repaint the display. Nasty, to say the least...

                              I think it's kinda interesting that people think that words like porn might offend someone's "kid sister", but that it's ok to say "f*ck* because nobody would ever figure that out with the missing letter and all :rolleyes: ;) Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group Programmer Trainer and Mentor and Project Management Consultant

                                    I'm sorry. I don't know what I've changed, but obviously in my fiddling I've turned something off without realising the effects or otherwise broken IE enough for it not to work. Could it be third party software? A long time ago (18 months+) I used to run ZoneAlarm on this machine? When I have the hour it takes to spare I will clean out my temporary internet files and see if that helps. I will get IE to break, dmanit! :rolleyes:

                                      Thats pretty bad. They should should put a patch out for that as soon as possible, rather than waiting the month.
