Hi James, keep in mind that I'm not a programmer neither are my computing skills very bright. However killing/renaming wscript.exe should be safe. I also have a tool that needs the Script Host. I found an easy way to circumvent the registry setting to disable Script Host, advised by Microsoft. If I try to launch the .vbs the normal way I get the expected message that Script Host i

In the past we had seen a ransomware called Ransom32 that was created using NodeJS and packaged inside an executable.

QuoteJohnHell Not now, I think... But if the image has already been cached (the first try), it will show the image properties without problems. If it is cached is similar as when the redirected image is reloaded, in the scenario I presented earlier. If you look at my pics you'll notice that they are showing different properties. First one, image size: 600x849 and the second one at full size

Drawback are the several security issues with flash. Most of those security issues could have been mitigated if webmasters wouldn't embed flash via scripting which is the attack vector number one. Ho

QuoteJamesD Also I think that twitter may not provide a "src=" for mp4 to Gecko defined browsers. I do not have an account at twitter so I have not tested there. I didn't test myself since I'm using only the ESR version but AFAIK the latest Firefox can play twatter vids. If you are eager to test, you can use the above link provided by JohnHell.

Nope. However, I couldn't care less about twatter vids. Their message that my browser doesn't support video playback is a blatant lie. Assholes.

QuoteJohnHell Nop. Search for it and you'll find that MP4 files with Gecko, can only be played since Vista or 7 I knew that. It was a misunderstanding (semantics). My bad. OK, it can't play by its own but makes use of the splitter shipped with Vista and above. AFAIK you can install the Haali Media Splitter on XP to solve the problem. However I am on Win7 and even so can't wat

@gordon451 Your 7z archive MD5 is fine. It's the same as mine. Program Files (x86) is protected area. If you want your K-Meleon folder there, IMO best practice is to use the installer. You can try to extract the archive to a non protected area as a test. It should work. Make sure to use a newer version of the 7z archiver. BTW, you can download the newest one which fixes a security hole

Among the 3 browsers (Opera Presto, Firefox ESR and K-Meleon) which I am using for different tasks only one comes with a 32-bit and a 64-bit version. After testing both versions I opted for the 32-bit Opera Presto. Only scenario I can think of where the 64-bit version might have performed better are online games. Since I'm not a gamer I didn't test. The below test confirms at large wh

Rodocop, For me Opera 12.17 was slightly lighter on resources than K-Meleon even on W2k_x32 with a Pentium III and 1GB of RAM. However the difference of resourse consumtion between the 2 browsers in Win7x64 is minimal and definitive not noticeable on my system at least. Keep in mind that whereas development of Opera Presto ceased many years ago, Mozilla is stuffing more and more things in the

@Siria After thinking twice, I have to revise my first statement regarding "wouldn't make any sense".
