SSL Not secure with IE

Gotta love this new helper object which installs itself into Internet Explorer. If you think your connection is secure because it has HTTPS in the address and the little lock is clicked shut in the status bar, you may be wrong. You could be sending your bank account information to a scriptbot that uses the "helper object" structure that Microsoft so *helpfully* added to IE.

Reminder to all, IE is not the only browser.

"Firefox":http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
"Opera":http://www.opera.com

Just a thought.

Certainly the once-married teetotaling born again Prez beats out that other guy pretty handily, if that is the measure of the man. I sure hope that's not the only way people determine their new leader, but history shows otherwise.
