Story: Open-source IE patch hits trust barrier

The patch works by grabbing any url that is clicked and checking it before i.e. gets its hands on it.

The patch checks to see if its one of these tricky urls, if it is it redirects you to the site to tell you whats happened.

If not then it simply gives the url to i.e. to process as normal.

The patch simply uses the standard MS API, and does not actually alter the code of i.e. its a seperate program ( think google toolbar ). So the idea that it would be a problem when an official patch comes out is incorrect.

These people are just morons. How they get there jobs is beyonf me, they obviously don't know a dam thing about programming.
