Netscape 6 Security "bug" ??
(A service of the Roller Sports Web International)

You may find it hard to believe, but the New version 6 of Netscape comes to you with an "accidental"? security flaw. (actually Several).
When you initially start Netscape 6, it WILL set itself up as a SERVER on the internet, as well as being a Browser for you to surf the net!
Unless you are protected by a Firewall, (and it reports the "accidental" security defect), you are not even ASKED if you want NS 6 to become a Server!   Now, it Does seem reasonable that if I can discover this security flaw, Others can as well.   AND they Can access your computer through one of the many ports you have, at will!
Do you get a lot of unauthorized "pop-up" menus from Netscape while in NS6?   Do you receive large quantities of unsolicited ads when using NS6?   Is there unexplained "disk activity" when you are surfing in NS6?
Ever wonder WHY?
Some of the security flaws in Netscape are listed on their site at - http://wp.netscape.com/security/index.html .
