atomic tofu is on a distinguished road

Default hey crew, want to test what this pop up is?

I was looking about and letting pages load...still at home on dialup and vista

anyways this site gives a pop on my Vista machine:
Prevent ESD damage with PSSI static safe products. Secure laptops with PSSI Dock & Lock Cabinets

it triggers a user account control thing...which to me prompts me not to install it...but wondering if anyone here can test it to see what the dl payload is

jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab from Sun Microsystems, Inc

if it's a legit plugin request, that's still AZZ. I'm looking at the placeholders and thinking...I don't need no java or activeX to look at what should be gif/jpg images

image of the site popup...


seems it's legit and ok right? I hate java

Well just tested this at my house with multiple browsers. Sadly to say Firefox was the only one affected. Opera did not load the popup nor did Safari for Windows. Firfox took me to the Java site that prompted me to setup Java which is BS since i have that installed already. Even IE wasnt affected. Not a good sign for Firefox. New flaw found. Report it.
