Comments on: Windows Vista security broken? http://tips.vlaurie.com/2008/08/wndows-vista-security-broken/ News, commentary and tips for safer and easier computing Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:48:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Vic Laurie http://tips.vlaurie.com/2008/08/wndows-vista-security-broken/comment-page-1/#comment-4828 Vic Laurie Sun, 10 Aug 2008 00:45:45 +0000 http://tips.vlaurie.com/?p=1940#comment-4828 I do not know enough to see what all the implications of this security breach might be. However, <em>if</em> some of the comments that I have read are accurate, careful PC users are no less safe than than they have been all along. Some safety features of Vista can be breached but, according to some of the comments, UAC and protected mode in IE7 are still effective. I imagine more information will appear soon. As far as Firefox and NoScript are concerned, I would think that this new problem does not apply. I do not know enough to see what all the implications of this security breach might be.

If I use Firefox and with the NoScript add-on am I protected from this problem? Thanks for pointing out this possible security problem.

If I use Firefox and with the NoScript add-on am I protected from this problem?
