Wait a sec – so WiFi adapter / Mouse and Keyboard all attached to a USB hub? Makes GP2x a little immobile don’t you think. Still gets my Wow, but would be more happy to see this done on PSP and having keyboard for a portable device that already has a WiFi in it.

You can uninstall IE, go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Software, then on the side bar click Add/Remove Windows Components, then click IE, and you’re good to go.

@ Roleo Hibachi – Thank you. Someone that actually understands how stuff works.

@ # 12 – You said it!

@ # 15 – There is no way of removing Internet Explorer?! It’s people like you that make the 1337 comments on how much Windows sucks, etc, etc …!

It can be done. You can even do it using a simple .SIF file on your installation CD. (WINNT.SIF) (The one used for Unattended Installations)

If you want to do a more complex thing, remove it from the Windows Installation CD using nLite or any other app. A clean Windows install is the solution to many problems. (100 Mbs with slipstreamed hotfixes here!)

As for the “real browser” and “real OS”. Please. Cut it out! This war has to end someday, might as well be when I’m alive to enjoy peace.

If someone wants to use Linux, fine, use it! If someone wants to use Windows, use it. You’r not uber leet just because you use slackware and your not a total idiot who can’t even choose “a real OS” just because you run Windows.

Competition is good. It is what makes things better!

Another browser war? Remember, y’all, it comes down to this: whichever browser is least popular but best developed is the safest. If (when) IE becomes unpopular, it will be safer than firefox, opera, or any other browser.
Same holds true for OSs.
When the world of computing puts all its eggs in one basket, some people start getting a kick out of drilling holes in the bottom of the basket. True security derives from putting your “eggs” in multiple “baskets”.

first off i think these gp2x’s are pretty cool, although i don’t have one yet i’m thinking more strongly on getting one to fool around with, looks like it may be more useful to me than my pda. second putting exploits, trojans on a site like that is script kiddie nonsense. third ie and windows can be just as secure as about anything else with the proper security applied, and everything can be configured/ uninstalled in windows if you want to take the time to do it. it has been proven that you can run nt systems without numerous supposed “key” or “core” elements of the os…

i actually use opera and i have for years. i can’t stand ie which is why i don’t call it a real browser….and the fact that there is no way to uninstall it.

@steve, I thought it was a lack of insecure user experience improvement features like activex that did it back then :)

I threw in a topic about the trojan stuff on their forums http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=26540

I count 5 different exploit attempts in that.

A real browser? lemme guess. you’re a firefox zombie. ie is secure enough if you configure it correctly. as long as you keep your security options in line, you should be fine. seems like some people would realize that firefox’s security was tied to its past obscurity. but maybe not.

I like the way people say “real operating system”
“real browser” – grow up, if GP32x is such an “1337″ console
with “1337″ people in charge of the site maybe they should not have such bad security.

What virus protection shpuld I use, F-secure can`t handle this virus.

I personally don’t use IE. I use Firefox, and I didn’t realize the Trojan was there until a coworker informed me that he had a popup. As a network administrator, I like to protect my network, and if it means I have to ban this site because I can’t ensure its security regardless of what my users are using, than thats what I will do. I’m sure there are several other SAs out there who feel the same way.

Yes it is infected with a trojan just disable the downloading of ActiveX controls and you will be fine
