This little app disables 8 exploits that are commonly used by browser hijackers (including CWS), thus, protecting you from infection. This does not remove an existing infection! It is a preventative measure only and is a must for everyone that uses Internet Explorer. Microsoft has not yet developed security patches or hotfixes for most of these exploits. (One exception is ADODB.stream. See KB870669.)
1. mhtml protocol
2. ms-its protocol
3. ADODB.stream object
4. Microsoft.XMLHTTP object
5. Shell.Application object
6. its protocol
7. mk protocol
8. ms-itss protocol
Please read the side effects of disabling each exploit. Then disable them all. BugOff works on Windows 98 and higher. The VB6 runtime files should be installed before you install this program. BugOff requires administrative rights to run. Limited users will not be able to enable/disable the exploits.
[B]SIDE EFFECTS[/B]
- Disabling the mhtml exploit will prevent you from reading .mht/.mhtml files or Outlook Express email.
- Disabling several other exploits may prevent the Windows Help system and some third-party application Help windows (i.e., Microsoft Antispyware) from displaying.
[B]TIPS[/B]
- When you need to open .mht files or Outlook Express email, temporarily re-enable the mhtml exploit, do you work, and then disable it again to maintain security.
- If you find that a particular Help & Support, help, or information window does not display; temporarily re-enable some of the other exploits until the window displays properly. Be sure to disable them again when you are finished.
- Please install the KB870669 patch from Microsoft for the ADODB.stream object. Then use BugOff for dual protection against this exploit.
