IE URL Spoofing bug fixed

[Planky]

Microsoft has finally fixed that url spoofing bug (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-004.asp). It only took them a year to do it.

Only thing is, once applied you can no longer type usernamepassword@domain feature anymore eg:

http://planky:password@fourwinds.net
