| 802294 | 2009-08-19 01:46:00 | A neighbour has been having trouble with access to ANZ internet banking freezing after logon at the point where you click to proceed to internet banking . The computer is admittedly rather old on Win98 IE6 . The ANZ bank website just states that 128 bit encryption is required with no mention of operating system . The bank's helpdesk say that Win 98 & 2K are no longer supported at all . Vague waffle about changes made in the last few weeks . Has anyone else run into this? |

I seriously wouldn't be doing internet banking on IE6, let alone on Win98! :yuck: |

| 802299 | 2009-08-19 03:25:00 | Rather than just make a knee jerk reaction like that, why not back up your statement? Dude, seriously? Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 was released in late 2001. For its time, it was a decent browser, but in 2009, it is still in use by a significant portion of the web population, and its time is now up. As any web developer will tell you, working with IE 6 is one of the most difficult and frustrating things they have to deal with on a daily basis, taking up a disproportionate amount of their time. Beyond that, IE 6's support for modern web standards is very lacking, restricting what developers can create and holding the web back. The main complaints against IE6 are: * not supporting CSS v2. * instability – The following line crashes IE6: prototypebindbindAsEventListener * security vulnerability – Secunia reported on Jan. 10, 2009 142 vulnerabilities in IE6 with 22 unpatched * not supporting PNG transparency * no HTML 5 support Major web sites like YouTube, Digg, Orkut, Facebook are against IE6 and would like to see it disappear over night if possible. For example, users accessing Facebook with IE6 are prompted to upgrade to a better browser. The mere fact it's now been superseded by 2 major releases should tell you all you need to know. No browser is bullet-proof, but using such a deprecated browser is just asking for trouble |

Probably right. Although there are recent versions that still work on Win98. How often though do you find evidence of malware without a browsing history making it obvious why the computer was infected? |

| 802302 | 2009-08-19 03:48:00 | Very often actually - that's why people get infections nowadays with *necessarily* going to porn/warez sites; drive-by malware infections can happen at legitimate (or seemingly legitimate) sites that have been compromised. Often you're tricked into clicking a button that actually allows activex code to be installed on your PC. | nofam (9009) | ||
