Hell, IE sucks so much, you could probably use that exploit to run a VBS script to wipe out a hard-drive. But there are honestly thousands of those, what makes this one special?

Well this is because I was reading info for 404 errors, how to customize it, and I came over that error message that was on Altavista, and I never knew that they actually do it! I was kinda asking myself why we always see MSN (Microsoft) on most of the errors pages, so I thought that I might not be the only one to discover that, so that's why I post that!
But I cant figure out how to suppress that "feature" though.. How??
And I hope they dont do that short of thing under Netscape uh!?
