Oh, I saw that a while ago and already fixed mine. I should have posted that here, now that I think about it. Ooops!

Quidscribis, I usually don't post tech stuff here either. But I've told so many people here to try Firefox that I feel like I should give them a heads up about this. Posts: 4116 | Registered: Apr 2002

Ok. Doesn't work in mine -- I got a DNS error page, and the address said http://www.payp?l.com/ (and we all know PayPal is https: anyway, right?). Alas, my computer's vulnerabilities must lie elsewhere.

It says "www.payp?l.com" in my bar, but displays only a blank page. Am I vulnerable or not? *is stupid*
