Congrats Piru, I guess.  Is it your job to find these kinds of security holes for another company, or do you do it just for kicks?

Does this mean that I need to rush to Paypal and transfer my positive balance in it entirety to my bank account, or can I feel safe that I can keep a few bucks there to pay for an odd Amiga game here and there on eBay?

How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

It means don't EVER use IE!!! With AVG pro and Firefox you can be fairly safe. Not totally, but fairly.
 


I have not used IE for years.  It is FireFox, Avast and Sunbelt Personal Firewall for me.  I would not depend on any Microsoft security programs for anything.
