Pretty helpful, nothing happens in Firefox :D

Nothing seems to happen in my IE too for some reason?

....*edit* ahh, cos I had already turned Active X off ages ago.

got a regular news email from vnunet which listed that bug with the advice to use another browser and further down were links to news items about critical flaws in Mozilla and firefox so I guess Opera is the only choice :) . I`ll stick with IE myself
