    There are a number of additional situations, namely the HOMEPAGE behavior of
    the Internet Explorer series 5.5 +. Very trivial scripting, that will
    position on any size screen, on a website can cause quite a bit of havoc.
    Instead of providing the code how to do it, consider the following screen
    shots:
    
    This is a "disguised" prompt. We've reversed the 'yes' 'no' function so that
    you've basically "had it":

    the next is the popup off center to illustrate what was done:
    
    http://www.malware.com/poop.jpg [18kb]
    
    From a security POV, there still remains many vulnerable IE5.5 browsers
    susceptible to the [your], com.ms.activeX.ActiveXComponent vulnerability
    along with a handful of html/web based Trojans and worms out there, that
    coupled with an ActiveX prompt, could just as easily be disguised as above.
