IE.6 keeps sending clear text passwords...

[ER]

Hi All,

Internet Explorer 6 causes ZoneAlarm to issue "ID Lock
Alert" warning popups...
Maybe some other readers are getting these ZoneAlarm
popups and found a solution to stop them...???

The situation...

IE6 seems intent on sending clear text password to certain
URLs - As reported by ZoneAlarm (ZA) in a "ID Lock Alert"
popup. This can happen many times (nine on one site).

The password is for eBay. On ZA's Overview->Preferences
tab under "eBay Protection Profile" eBay is listed as a
Security Alliance Partner.

sounds like you got a trojan or malware bug, get a couple
of scans.
