"Page cannot be displayed" Or at least something else with the same effect. That's what I encountered upon upgrading to IE7. Hardly a faster browser compared to IE6. Tons of invulnerabilities, or "easter eggs" as Microsoft likes to call it. What took the cake was the worm that infected my hard drive. When I double-click on it, it does nothing. Out of habit, I right-click on it and the default action highlighted on the context menu is "Autoplay." How the heck did Autoplay become one of the hard drive options?! Upon further research, I finally found the culprit. There was an autorun.inf in my hard drive and a file named "FS6519.dll.vbs" which is actually the worm. Anyone who experiences this would have to boot into Safe Mode, delete the files, and then hack the registry. Details in removing the worm can be found here. By the way, it propagates by copying itself to an external hard drive, in which I have two that are already infected. In one of my previous post, I said I'm almost free from Windows by using Ubuntu Edgy Eft (6.10). I had to reinstall Windows because I needed to use some applications that only runs in Windows, like Robohelp, Dreamweaver, Flash, and other Adobe Products. Sheesh, why don't they create applications for Linux. People will be willing to pay for them anyway. I'm not sure if this is because of the worm, but whenever I try to ping, the command prompt would not show the ip address I am pinging. But the ping test is performed. Weird. I guess I'm gonna have to get proficient with the GIMP, et al.
