soon as i get it, i'll post it ok?  for now put up with the one i posted

No I think this can be considered an attact since someone could make a link in a webpage or a autoredirect to something like

code:

---

<a href="file://path/to/path/to/path/to/path/to///////path/to//////">Free WLM Invites</a>

---

Something like that and the person would click it just to have the browser crash. I dont see how this could be a DoS attact but surely a anyoying prank

You can download Ie Beta 2 in www.softonic.com The site is in Spanish so here are the instructions to download:


http://internet-explorer.softonic.com/ie/48797

Just click descargar, then descargar once again the one in the GREEN.

The IE 7 Beta is in english so dont worry!

No that is not a DoS attack.

DoS is Denial Of Service, this does nothing of the sort. Yes it may deny you of using IE but IE is not a service and it is not denying a whole group of people of using it. It is merely a bug which can be exploited to crash IE.

No it does not look like a warez site, just a site like www.downloads.com

IE7 Beta 2 is a public beta. You should still download it from microsoft.com instead of a 3rd party site.

Follow this link for the microsoft.com download page for IE 7 BETA

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/ie7betaredirect.mspx

And please note that it is always much safer to download programs from somewhere as trusted as microsoft.com, i would advise people not to follow links to 3rd party downloading sites for such a thing unless it has been noted by the creaters of the program that it is a safe mirror download page.  Just my two cents.

I did give a link in the original post you know.

it's not the only problem IE7 has with file://. I tried to open a local page in IE7 Beta 2 and it opens the page in FF. The strange thing is that it worked yesterday :/.
