MSO..?..exploit / Well REALLY !! RJK 02-12-2006

I did a search with Google - something like xxx "full review" "in stock"
where xxx is a brand name and/or model no. of a flat screen display panel,
as I've been reading all about different ones, (and finally ordered one / a
WEEK that took to decide), - and got a page full of links, as you do. The
2nd or 3rd on that I clicked on yielded a page full of, ...how shall I
describe it...? ...umm... peoples private parts....very large ones too !
Gosh! I thought, ...is that trick photography or have some people really
got ones that big ? !!!

The page just finished loading and my internet security package slapped a
warning box on top of it to tell me that it had killed a
"MSO..???...exploit" where ??? is the part that I can't remember, and I
can't find a record of it in my internet security suite.

I remember reading somewhere that this "exploit" thingy was taken care of in
a XP update ages ago, and was it something to do with a cookie or something
stored in a temp folder somewhere.

Anyway, my security suite, the a/v program I think, advised that it had
killed it and that to "finish and clean-up" I should now reboot - that was
inconvenient.

Anyone know why I had to reboot ? Sorry for not taking exact details of
whatever it was.

ps I'm two days into on a 15 day trial of Zonealarm Internet Security Suite
6.1.737.000 and am pretty sure I'm going to buy it, it's VERY impressive,
(excluding that recent 'old' "exploit" vulnerability detection - that's not
what's impressed me). It's doesn't seem to slow the system right down like
several others I've tried, including Computer Associates Internet Security
Suite, (which seems to contain Zonealarm anyway), and which only seemed to
do half a job, and when the CA server was down and I had to uninstall and
reinstall it, and because it couldn't communicate with its' home site
goodness how many times - to do with synchronizing a license), it misbehaved
and almost took out my Windows platform with it ! I tried Zonealarm "free"
and AVG "free" and MSAS beta1 for a few days- wasn't happy with them.
Panda Titanium internet security suite 2006 introduced delays throughout my
whole system. Having got used to an almost instantaneous response when
doing things on my PC, I couldn't adjust to having Panda in there. It had to
go !

I haven't looked into it, (haven't the time), and I'm sure I've seen mention
somewhere that Steve Gibson (and obviously his skills in assembler), are
connected with Zonealarm. If so that would explain its' speed of course.

regards, Richard

It really "gets your goat" when I mention that Panda slows my machine, for
that I apologize, and seeing as you dislike it so much I will not mention it
again but, it remains the case.

I like lots of "mmmm's" ...stop trying to be rude !

I posted in case anbody knew why I had to reboot after the MSO exploit
incident. (which I asked my OP, perhaps you missed it - looking through
that red furious haze because Panda had been critisized ! :-)
