   GREETINGS!

   1.  

   SECURITY BREACHES:  

   WINDOWS 6, VISTA Prone to frequent and VERY SERIOUS "CLICK-JACKING" security breaches!  

   RESULTING IN LOSING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE COMPUTER to the CLICK-JACKING attacks!  

   THE "Clicker/Pointer" disappers from view, runs rabid, helter-skelter!

   A Scenario:  

   ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.xx.xx.xx.

   "A SCRIPT IN THIS movie / video clip IS CAUSING Adobe Flash Player v10.xx TO RUN SLOWER".  [AFP10 running within IE8rc1].

   "IF IT CONTINUES TO RUN, YOUR COMPUTER MAY BECOME UNRESPONSIVE".

   "DO YOU WANT TO ABORT THE SCRIPT?"

   [ YES ]

   [ NO ].  

   --- ---

   NOTE:  Related to this above mentioned case.

   In the IE8rc1, TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES [folder] section, and in the arbitrary sub-folders, several hundreds to several thousands of 1 and 2 lines each of HTML codes have been observed [and quickly deleted/emptied], ostensibly enabling the triggering of these CLICK-JACKING ATTACKS!

   QUESTION:  

   IS IT NOT POSSIBLE TO VIEW, AND DEFUSE, SUCH OFFENDING SCRIPTS SOMEWHERE IN THE LIST OF APPLICATIONS SHOWN IN THE "Windows Task Manager" (TASKS / PROCESSES) LISTS?  

   What happened to the IE8rc1 Security Settings in which (paraphrasing) such unauthorized scripts running were DISABLED!  

   2.  WINDOWS 6 VISTA -- IE8rc1 has blocked this site from using an ACTIVE-X Control in an UNSAFE manner.  As a result, this page may not display correctly.  

   THE window/PAGE:  FREEZES, "NOT RESPONDING", CRASHES, SHUTS DOWN, restarts.

   THESE DEFICIENCIES seriously result in loss of hours of valuable productive time.  

   Sometimes, a task that would take a few minutes to accomplish, ends up taking two to three hours!  

   Even then, attempting to preserve and save the open tasks windows proves futile BECAUSE the IE8rc1 UNCEREMONIOUSLY CRASHES!

   EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!

   I HOPE that somebody "BATTLEFIELD SMART" is "home" @ Wista [Vista] Security who cares about reducing the frictions and frustrations of users of MSFT products and willing to do good constructive work to remedy the DEFICIENCIES.  

   PLEASE REFRAIN from using "Juxtapositional Thesaurus antonym Verbiages" like:  Solid -- to describe something UNSTABLE.  

   Your english teachers are not going to be impressed with such flippancy.  

   With the resources and talent pools ["bandwidth" anyone] of an organization like MICROSOFT, products should be SMOOTH-SAILING, not be this frictiously counterproductive.

   IF NOT, Let ME lead and demonstrate how to develop and deploy frictionless and frustrationless world-class products that make users and customers happy --

   with WOW!  

   THAT'S Just What and How I Wanted!

   BEST REGARDS!

   THE IE8rc1 SECURITY MECHANISM

   "DELETE BROWSING HISTORY"

   that is supposed to CLEAR ALL Temporary Internet Files (TIFs), Cookies, History, Form Data, Passwords, In-Private Filtering Data ~ and File,

   DOES NOT CLEAR or DELETE

   any of the hundreds and thousands of files that can populate in the TIFs folders during a browsing session!  

   These TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES (TIFs) have to be manually DELETED and EMPTIED folder by subfolder, one by one, using up enormous amount of valuable productive time!

   As an ADMIN., when accessing the TIFs located in other Folders and sub-folders on "C:\" to DELETE manually, an ALERT appears:  "ACCESS DENIED".

   Thereby not being able to CLEAR the ENTIRE browsing HISTORY Tracks.

   What are the solutions?  

   THANKS and Best Regards!
