Protection from vulnerabilities

<A HREF="http://www.finjan.com/">Finjan Software</A> announced that the Finjan product line protects computers from recently discovered exploits in Internet Explorer. Security advisor, Jouko Pynnonen, of Online Solutions Ltd. published the vulnerability, which affects Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Outlook Express. Finjan believes the vulnerabilities are the most dangerous Java applet exploit since the first version of Internet Explorer. The vulnerability enables Java applets to take command of the user's machine. The exploit allows Java applets to be even more dangerous than ActiveX controls, regardless of the browser's security setting.
