I have seen this a couple of times when using internet explorer 5.5. Ill goto a site, and there will nothing there, then like 5 minutes later zone alarm will tell me about some strange program trying to connect to the internet. Ill check to see if i can find out where the application came from, using properties -> Versions tab. Sometimes it shows the same address that i had just been to. Didn't really think about it as being a vuln. untill now. Someone could use the 'bug' to download a trojan on every internet exporer based computer that connects to their site. The user wouldnt even know what was going on. Maby its the default security setting? Lack of security setting?
