| 374976 | 2005-07-24 23:50:00 | I have been noticing this string in visitor logs on a site I am developing Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.0.3705 now the site is not open to the general public, just myself and the client have access, I use firefox principally as well as opera, IE and Kmeleon, i run win2k the client I believe runs XP and uses only IE apparently this FunWebProfucts has something to do with the "MY WEB SEARCH™ BROWSER PLUGIN" for IE, but the user agent is mozilla/4 and i have the latest firefox, kmeleon.opera and IE, and the only plugins apart from Java and flash on all of them are google toolbar and webdeveloper on firefox i know it's not me as it doesn't show in the logs of other sites i am developing Actually basically I'll stop rambling and cut to the chase What actually is it, (in simple easy to understand terms) is it harmful, as some people seem to like crappy search plugins and emotican/smiley thingies which I would assume would come with a plugin of this sort And why is the User agent listed as Mozilla, if it's an IE plugin? Thanks |
