The page shows the Registry hack (changes or registry writing)… do these clowns even know what Windows Critical Updates are ? Without them, that cyber crime can take full control of the computer and even destroy the operating system or parts of it at will or all personal files and manipulate or copy them ? Then why tell the public how to allow them to do that ? What does Microsoft say about these Notifications and why were they added to the wonderful Windows Operating System ? Do they believe this was a mistake and Owners/Users should completely disregard computer security ? Does the computer security industry recommend this ? Why not ? Does Microsoft ? Why not ? Why do you ?
Need it be reiterated that Vista is the safest OS (Operating System) on the planet. That, hack creeps, is the main theme that IS NOT annoying about the wonderful Vista Experience…. need they be reminded of the malware XP Years horror stories – but now they wish it on Vista Users ?
ANOTHER VISTA SECURITY TIP:
What browsers support EV certificates?

Today, only Internet Explorer 7 supports EV certificates. All current and recent versions of Internet Explorer will treat Extended Validation SSL certificates the same way they would existing SSL certificates. New browsers developed by members of the CA Browser Forum may contain the functionality to visually represent the certificate contents of Extended Validation SSL certificates without requiring the user to click on the padlock to see the information. For example, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 changes the browser address bar “green” to represent that a site has been secured with an Extended Validation SSL certificate. In addition, a box next to the URL bar will show the padlock as well as text showing the name of the organization that has had its identity assured as well as the locality in which the organization is based and the name of the issuing CA.
