Pick the Handle Up MS
Oh yeah ... the the classic bush response: avoid the real issue (IE, in case anyone forgot), point the finger at someone else and say they do the same thing.

Try "SpoofStick 1.3" for Firefox, if you're concerned. It's a freeware toolbar which tells you where you're really at. As it says in it's own literature: "It's not a comprehensive solution, but it's a good start."

The real deal here is Microsoft continues to lie, lie, lie about the security plagued bloatware it produces. It will do ANYTHING to avoid responsibility.

Spoofing, pfishing, is serious stuff. For MS to deny it is BS.
