It will "remember" your registration key and you will be running NetCaptor Pro. *** SECURITY UPDATE - PLEASE READ *** One of the nice things about building a browser on top of the Internet Explorer engine is that I don't have to worry about web navigation and HTML rendering. The downside is that NetCaptor can inherit some of IE's security weaknesses, including a recent vulnerability described here: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/713878 http://secunia.com/advisories/11793/ http://isc.incidents.org/diary.php?date=2004-06-29 At its core, this vulnerability is caused by the execution of one of several protocols (ms-its, ms-itss, its, mk, mhtml) that don't serve a practical purpose in a browser. We have disabled/blocked these protocols in NetCaptor 7.5.2 so it is not vulnerable to the same exploits as Internet Explorer. NOTE - one vulnerability requires a "Web Page Dialog" to be launched. NetCaptor's PopupCaptor will generally block these, so you must bypass or turn-off PopupCaptor if you wish to view any of the proof-of-concept pages that demonstrate the exploit. NetCaptor will now block access to URLs similar to this one: ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Help\iexplore.chm::/iegetsrt.htm FIXES * Turned CTRL + SHIFT + S (Save As) shortcut on). ------------------------------------------------------------------ NETCAPTOR 7.5.1 RELEASE NOTES May 7, 2004 *** FREE VERSION USERS: The free version of NetCaptor no longer downloads text ads from the internet. Instead, it will display sometimes display a list of "Related Searches" in the ad bar. These keywords are taken from a list that lives inside NetCaptor and it creates the displayed list by analyzing the page you are viewing. If you click a link, it will take you to our search page. We think you'll like this new ad system. FEATURES * New "Add Favorite Here" feature makes it easy to add a Favorite to any Favorites or Links folder with one click. * Expandable CaptorGroups. You have to try this to appreciate it. Click "Expand CaptorGroups" in the CG menu. NetCaptor will "expand" your groups so you can open the whole thing or individual groups with a single click. CHANGES * Removed the "Address Tools" button from the address bar. The same tools are now available from the drop-down menu of the "Go" button. FIXED * Fixed several access violations.
