Now people are using the information bar as a pop up for their webpages/ads! It pretends to be an IE security info popup. This could be VERY malicious in the wrong hands! How anoying is this?! I opened a page like http://www.users.on.net/~alexanderino/cdex/ and get the information bar pop up. Clicking on the info bar opens a different page, http://www.browsehappy.com . here is some source from that page: <head> <title>A guide to using CDex [v0.70b, 2005-12-25]</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE" /> <meta name="description" content="A concise and straightforward guide on ripping your CDs and encoding to high-quality MP3, using CDex and LAME." /> <meta name="keywords" content="CDex, MP3, ripping, compact discs, music, audio" /> <link href="../styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <!--[if IE]> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/infobar.css" type="text/css" title="No IE Information Bar" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/infobar.js"></script> <![endif]--> </head> -------------(here is the text that is displayed like an IE security alert)--------------- <body> <!--[if IE]> <div id="infobar"><a href="http://www.browsehappy.com" title="Browse Happy — Online.
