Edit: Bob I just noticed your build is older than the one I just downloaded from official MS site (Link above)
Thanks Sasha,
Now they match. ;D
Hi bob3160,
After 12 hours there is the first critical flaw in IE 7.0, not a good start. You can test the vulnerability here: http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_Arbitrary_Content_Disclosure_Vulnerability_Test/
To be secure disable active scripting,
polonus
thanks polonus…for the info 8)
Simple solution:
If you’re doing your banking or using PayPal, use FF till a patch is release.
I don’t know about blinding the spammers but some of us have dial-up connections ;D so large images can slow page loading not to mention those with low resolution monitors and or graphics cards will find the physical screen size a scroll hassle also.
ok davidr…will take it off for you guys that still have dial up and outdated graphic cards and such 8)
have a good one my friend
I like the splash of colour in the icon. It looks rather like a fiery satellite around the blue ‘e’. Hmm… a blue icon with a ring of fire… where have I seen that before? Is that perchance a fiery fox running rings around IE?
FreewheelinFrank,
Your obvious prejudice is showing…
Joke, Bob.
Just a word of warning: DON’T do it again. :-X
Thank you.

Hi malware fighters,
All jokes apart there are cybercriminals that have made a phishing site that links to an Internet Explorer version, but tries to download a Trojan Horse in stead on the visitor’s machine. Through an e-mail that seems to come from support@microsoft.com, and a link to Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, users are lured to go there.
The site looks like the genuine Internet Explorer site from Microsoft’s. Via exploits in the browser a Trojan downloader is being installed. In related new FF fans registered the ie7.com website. (The Register)
This is from the Microsoft Security Response Center Blog!
This is Information on Reports of IE7 Vulnerability by Christopher Budd.
“We’ve gotten some questions here today about public reports claiming there’s
a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer 7. This is an issue that we have under
investigation and so we have some technical information we can share about the
issue.”
“These reports are technically inaccurate: the issue concerned in these reports
is not in Internet Explorer 7 (or any other version) at all. Rather, it is in a
different Windows component, specifically a component in Outlook Express. While
these reports use Internet Explorer as a vector the vulnerability itself is in
Outlook Express.”
“While we are aware that the issue has been publicly disclosed, we’re not
aware of it being used in any attacks against customers. We do have this under
investigation and are monitoring the situation closely and we’ll take appropriate
action to protect our customers once we’ve completed the investigation.”
I hope that helps to clarify.
Christopher

Yes my friend Polonus, it is really amazing how many sick people is out there… they are not just trying to prove that Microsoft or their products are no good, they are doing much more damage than their limited brains can even understand. So many inexperienced users out there, and many of them are even totaly computer illiterate… they are just making their lives so much more difficult. It’s much easier for us who are well informed and kind of expecting these troubles every single time we browse this internet, but for them this must be a hell.
Regardless of which browser people use or will use in the future… computer security should be in the first place. I use both Firefox and IE, although my default browser is IE7… but anytime there are some security updates I jump on updating right away… again, regardless of is it IE or Firefox.
How come there is no one out there who can stop those people from doing these things ?!! There must be something someone can do. I don’t care if Microsoft’s business is right or wrong, but in this case they are illegaly ruining someone else’s business and worst of all, they are ruining our lives and lives of ordinary, normal, every day users… some legal actions must be available.
I installed it and I’m using IE7 as my default browser (like I always did with IE). The interface is new, but nothing I can’t get used to.
But, a major problem I have with the browser is that some pages takes a few refreshes or reloads to display correctly. What it shows are what I think is the page’s programming codecs … Does anyone else have this problem … ? I hope it’ll get fixed. (My guess is that the phishing filter kinda interfers with the actual page loading …)
Hi Happy Dude.
IE7 will be our “Halloween”-surprise as it will be automatically installed on Windows XP SP2 machines as from Nov 1st , that is to those haven’t got the tool to exclude it installed. Well IE7 is ready for the Internet, alas the Internet and many sites on it are not ready for IE7. But that will pass. I will have IE 7.0 also installed (only to get Windows updates, and have SafeXP keep the default as it comes at bay), and use an alternate browser rather, that I have tweaked for in-browser security).
Now my personal vision for the immediate future, coming in gradually in say 4-5 years from now. This is coming and phased in very rapidly by the big corporate monopolies and government playing hand in hand.
Well I think in the not-so-far-off future to go out on the Internet will be in the same style as for Radio Amateurs after WW2, you can only go online with a license and a real identity key, so you can be hold responsible for all you do on the Net, just like a cardriver has to show his permit and can been taken off the road for not abiding by the rules. They do this by gradually putting the genie of free Internet back into the digital controlled bottle. We lived in some interesting decades, but these are coming to an end, the landscape is being turned over. Our computer will be a restricted advanced content playing machine not to be tinkered with anymore. What they do is sold as “better security”, but it all has to do with “control”. Sad days to arrive for the inovative coders, creative souls, free information exchangers and individualists. Or can we still somehow turn the tide. We’re with so many!

This simple registry change puts the menu bar in IE7 on top, where it should be :o

If you change your mind, the registry patch to put it back is also included.
