Patch

Netcaptor (»www.netcaptor.com), a modified version of IE, claims to have fixed that vulnerability as well. Plus, with a built-in pop-up blocker and tabbed browsing, it's arguably the best alternative to IE.

Tried out this browser alternative and for all the alternatives I have tried, it seems to be a nice setup save for the advertisements on the top line of the browser window which, while not really annoying to me, are noticable. This can be removed with an upgrade to the pro version for a approx 30$ (U.S.) fee, which to me makes it less desirable but for the amount of set up you have to do to make it functional and its ease of transfer from IE to netcaptor its a very nice alternative to IE. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I am going to give it a go for a few days and see how it works. P.S. the way netcaptor solves phishing is my being able to display the
%01 in the addy thus revealing the rest of the address like in the link from broadbandreports.com which is netcaptor displays as www.symantec.com@i.dslr.net/symantec/www.symantec.com/index.html in the netcaptor address line and the status bar when you hover over a link on the test page from broadbandreports.com
