I have heard that M$ is promoting Silverlight as cross platform.
Is it including Win 98 as a cross platform system? |

Very True and we must accept that the support that Windows 98 users get will
be from Microsoft supported Windows 98 Newsgroups and from the self-help area
of Microsoft articles within Technet and the Windows 98 Center.

True, it is obsolete but I would say Windows 98 Second Edition is good and
safe as Chris Quirke, MVP shows us in his website about Risk Management. I
am sitting nicely and now running 98 Second Edition as my main operating
system again since I downgraded to 512 sdram chip from 2 gigabytes and my
machine and myself are humming along nicely while all the DNS Pollution is
out there in the world. I await PCR's Response to this. <grins>

By the way, you guys see that Apple just released their patches for their
operating systems and so much for Apple being the safe and secure solution
that Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal always likes to proclaim in his
technology column.

DNS poisoning is insidious & horrible, but I too see no evidence of it
yet in my machine. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure what it would
look like if I had it, though. I do hope the mishmash of expert rules I
have downloaded into my Kerio Personal Firewall has it covered.
From what I can make of that MS article, DNS poisoning has to do with
"translating host names to IP addresses (and vice versa)". So, it's a
matter of getting to the right site when an URL is clicked. If you get
to the wrong one, mischief can occur. But I'm not sure where the
poisoning would occur. Is it in one's machine or at a name server site?

PCR, if you go into the Internet Explorer options and check the display a
notification about every script error box and then run Internet Explorer you
will get an idea of DNS Pollution. I noticied at work problems popping up
with scirpt errors recently and contacted corporate and the two seem to be
related but I am sure it is much more complicated than that but this can give
you an idicator of a problem at least to start with in my opinion.

Alright. Thanks for the partial explanation. I'll continue to keep an
eye & an ear open for the rest.

You are most welcome. BTW, which service provider do you. PCR use and how do
you connect to the 'Net -- eg. cable, dsl, <broadband> or dial-up
<narrowband>. I am sure I asked you in the past but Gary S. Terhune has
correctly stated in the past that my memory is poor and that is indeed the
case because I am learning disabled which was diagnosed at age 6.
I will always have to deal with that for what it is worth but at least it
makes me a special and unique individual. Now, do I have a good perspective
of all my ailments or am I just truly fully crazy. <grinning madly -watch
out- LOL -- sorry Gary -- I cannot resist -- I hope the fires are better now
in California for Gary's sake>
By the way, I connect with Comcast Cable which according to the us-cert.gov
site was one of the first to protect against DNS Pollution.

I am Dial-Up using NetZero. I thought from that article you posted...

Vulnerability Note VU#800113
....that DNS pollution might be something for an ISP to solve (not the
user). I'm glad your Comcast has solved it for you. I'm sure NetZero
must be on it too. Anyhow, I've detected no symptoms.
You seem to be well enough to me, memory & all. I worry more that
Terhune will perish in an earthquake than in a fire. And if only his
governor would sit still, there'd be fewer of those too!
