Scary stuff. My PC has a high degree of security on it installed by the company I work for. There are many sites that I am unable to access even linked from this forum. I do not / will not disable it. I'd rather have the piece of mind. My on-line purchases are through major players so to speak. So I miss out on a few things......BFD.

Thanks for the info.

Hmm. Hertz, if you find that they've published an updated patch for this, please let us know.

Heh, I bet Hertz is sitting there at his mac (if I remember right) and laughing at all of us Microsoft drones.

Well I refrained from saying anything along those lines as I didn't want to rub salt in the wounds.
But it's not the fault of the PC. It's Uncle Bill's shoddy programming.

Looky! Looky!
