Re: xBrowser event and security

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure I understand the question, but if you disable all the links in
a web page and all the hidden scripts that may be lurking in the code,
which may be triggered by events like loading a page, closing it, etc, then
there is no mechanism to start some interaction with an outside source, so
you should be ok. Unless you have a virus that's spying on you and is
triggered by some type of content (like for advertising purposes, etc)

I'm not a hacker, so I don't know much about internet security issues...
