Need for complete re-install proven while writing the previous post

by Karel Thönissen

A funny thing happened while writing the previous posting about our system administration week. I write this using CityDesk, a simple easy to use content management system. When an entry is complete I can get a preview with the browser of choice. By default, CityDesk uses Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6. I took a preview and saw that the word 'spyware' in the third line had been converted into a link where none had been in the original text in CityDesk. I had another look at the original text in CityDesk and nothing seemed wrong. Then I took a look at the source code of the HTML-page and nothing was wrong either. So the spyware has creeped into the rendering engine of IE6. So the need for a complete re-install is clearly proven.

Obviously there was nothing wrong with the page when viewed with Firefox. So for all of you who want a safe, fast and comfortable browser: www.mozilla.org. Do yourself a favour and stop using crap.
