Help Protect Your PC From Viruses and Spyware: New Netscape 7.2
Browser! When you're online, there is nothing more important than your security.
Safeguarding your computer and its valuable data should be one of your
highest priorities. The new Netscape 7.2 browser can help.
Hackers target the Internet Explorer browser. "US CERT (the US
Computer Emergency Readiness Team), is advising people to ditch Internet
Explorer and use a different browser after the latest security vulnerability in
the software was exposed." --The Register, 6/28/04
Do note this important fact: The Wall Street Journal reported on June 28
that hackers had discovered holes in Internet Explorer that enabled them to
monitor a user's behavior to steal passwords and banking information. Some of Internet
Explorer's vulnerabilities and security holes are related to ActiveX controls, which allow hackers
to load programs into your browser without your knowledge. The Netscape browser is safe
against these approaches. And, unlike Internet Explorer, Netscape also makes it easy for you
to view all your downloaded extensions so you can see if something is there that shouldn't be.
Other new features of Netscape 7.2:
Popup Window Controls block mouseover pop-ups and limit the number of popup ads
when you set the popup windows control preference to "off."
Password Manager allows you to display saved passwords.
vCard support in Netscape Mail.
Palm Sync improvements.
Table editing controls in Composer.
New Macromedia Flash 7 plug-in for Windows.
Improvements in browser rendering speed, application start-up, and standards
supports.
