Other browsers do not have the vunerability
Mozilla and other web browsers do not have the vunerability.

In IE the address shows up as "http://www.microsoft.com"

In Mozilla is shows up as "http://www.microsoft.com%01@zapthedingbat.com/security/ex01/vun2.htm"

You can plainly tell that you are on the zapthedingbat.com website under Mozilla

No one should get fooled by the display in Mozilla. But, anyone would be fooled by the display that shows up in IE.

If you are using IE please do not click on any links you get in your inbox. Type in the address yourself.
