98 Guy Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 If you disable the file and printer sharing (which would disable NetBIOS), then yes, I guess you'd be pretty safe. Though there are still those IE shell extensions... I think it was someone in this forum that mentioned it, but he/she wasn't more specific.File and printer sharing are not turned on for a default installation of 98 (but they are for XP).If anyone would have the identity of these supposed IE shell extension vulnerabilities, it would be Secunia:http://secunia.com/product/13/?task=advisoriesWhich of those 32 advisories is it?Or which of these 70 IE 5.5 advisories is it?http://secunia.com/product/10/?task=advisoriesRemember, we're talking about an exploit that does not require that the user be running IE or be surfing the web. Only that the computer be connected to a LAN / Web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
