yeah, their version of the internet

Refalm:
In their version of the Internet, every computer is in a global domain so that ASP .NET can use Windows Validation for web shops.

What are the usual exploits rogue diallers take advantage off then?
Normally they're IE and you won't be affected if you use an alternative browser like Opera or Firefox, they're normally ActiveX too, so even if you use IE you can reduce the risk significantly by disabling ActiveX controls, come on muzzy you already knew this.

None, other than the fact we've never been hit by a rogue dialler.

Jack2000:
:) stupid bums :)

Here at my country we have solid PPPoE (router/server protection) security :)
you do not use Dial-up anymore :)

(PPPoE conncection is still a form of dial-up but it uses lan cable
to connect to the router and .... blahidi blah....
the phone company gets fucked over for not being in the loop)
