HTAstop 1.0 Filedate: 4/13/01
It's now possible for a "rogue" website to actually embed trojans,
worms and/or viruses directly into a web page. In the past, pages
that offer seemingly attractive downloads which contain such malware
required you to click to start any download to your computer. Now it's
become automatic, using features in the Windows operating system known
as scripting. These scripts can load programs without you knowing, and
then they run immediately. All you have to do is visit the site,
without doing anything besides viewing the page.

HTAstop acts as a brickwall against these scripts, disabling them so
the download doesn't occur. HTAstop protects you against one variety of
script, our current IEClean version covers all twenty seven.

If you have completely and successfully patched your Windows
operating system and have scripting disabled in your system, or are
using IEClean 5.50 with scripting access turned off, you won't
won't fall victim to this threat. Barring those, it's a good idea to have
HTAstop on your system. You can switch access on when you
want to use Net-based trusted applications, and then keep it off for
general web surfing.
