- *** SECURITY UPDATE - PLEASE READ ***
-
- One of the nice things about building a browser on top of the
- Internet Explorer engine is that I don't have to worry about
- web navigation and HTML rendering. The downside is that NetCaptor
- can inherit some of IE's security weaknesses, including a
- recent vulnerability described here:
-
- http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/713878
- http://secunia.com/advisories/11793/
-
- At its core, this vulnerability is caused by the execution
- of one of several protocols (ms-its, ms-itss, its, mk, mhtml) that
- don't serve a practical purpose in a browser. We have
- disabled/blocked these protocols in NetCaptor 7.5.2 so it is not
- vulnerable to the same exploits as Internet Explorer.
-
- NOTE - one vulnerability requires a "Web Page Dialog" to be
- launched. NetCaptor's PopupCaptor will generally block these,
- so you must bypass or turn-off PopupCaptor if you wish to view
- any of the proof-of-concept pages that demonstrate the exploit.
-
- NetCaptor will now block access to URLs similar to this one:
-
- ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Help\iexplore.chm::/iegetsrt.htm
-
- FIXES
- * Turned CTRL + SHIFT + S (Save As) shortcut on).

- *** FREE VERSION USERS: The free version of NetCaptor no longer
- downloads text ads from the internet. Instead, it will display
- sometimes display a list of "Related Searches" in the ad bar.
- These keywords are taken from a list that lives inside NetCaptor
- and it creates the displayed list by analyzing the page
- you are viewing. If you click a link, it will take you to our
- search page. We think you'll like this new ad system.
