How can you tell ? , when you download and install an add supported
program make SURE you read the end users license agreement carefully ,
if the designer or company is on the up and up it will state CLEARLY
what information the program will be sending back to them and EXACTLY
what they will be doing with that information and that all information collected
will be kept private . If the program does not have that information in the end
user license agreement and the sofware is add supported I would not advise
that you use that program ,chances are that it is "spyware".

A malicious remote applet may be able to execute arbitrary code on
the user's computer or obtain directory listings. Applets using the
PhotoDeluxe Java code can reportedly be scripted via (IE) and used to
obtain directory listings on the local system. If IE is started from within
PhotoDeluxe via a Link button, then malicious code would be able to
use the PhotoDeluxe Java code to download Java that could execute
malicious code on the system.

While no solution was available from Adobe at this time, CERT has
recommended t0 disable Active scripting and Java in the Internet zone
and the zone used by Outlook, Outlook Express, or any other email
client that uses Internet Explorer to render HTML.

A physically local user may be able to access the system if an
administrator applies the "disconnect" feature of the Terminal Services
client and then leaves the workstation idle. This means a Windows
Terminal Services client may cause the Windows screen saver lockout
mechanism to fail to lock out the system.

No solution was available from M icrosoft at this time, but the vendor
is working on a fix.

For Win2000 Server with SP0, SP1 and SP2, and the Terminal Server
client under Win98SE, Win2000 Pro, WinXP Pro

The FBI has Strongly Recommended that
All Users Immediately Disable WinXP's
Universal Plug n' Play Support


Steve Gibson is back with a vengeance; he's addressing another one of
Microsoft's oversights with the release of UnPlug n' Pray. With it, you
packets on port 5000. "What the heck is that supposed to mean?!"
Universal Plug and Play. If you don't understand what it
is and what it does, then the FBI is encouraging you to disable the feature altogether.
Ouch. Now, this isn't the same thing as regular Plug and Play. Kinda like
how Java and JavaScript are two totally different beasts? Check out
Steve's page; he did a bang up job at explaining UPnP. You can disable
the service manually: right-click My Computer | Manage | Services and
Applications | Services. Then, right-click Universal Plug and Play |
Properties | Startup type: Disabled. Or, download the free utility
(unless 22k is too big a file for you).
