Of course, you could also just install the latest patch that supposedly fixes this problem:
Microsoft Releases Fix for IE Phishing Exploit.
I'm all patched up. :-D
You might also want to install
BHODemon to ensure you don't have any nasty Browser Helper Objects installed. A while back I used
hijackthis to clean up a friend's & my sister's computer from BHO type malware. It wasn't really that hard, you just have to know which BHO's are friendly and which are not (using something like
TCPView helps narrow down the bad guys fairly quickly).
Btw, I tried to install Netscape 7.1, and I keep getting a BSOD at about the time it's installing Java. When I reboot I see the NS7.1 icons, but it doesn't work. Resuming the install makes it go all mental, and restarting from scartch just gets me the BSOD again. Hmmm... Not a good thing... I think I've given up on NS7.1, now trying Opera. Hope that installs a bit more smoothly. :-)
