Internet Explorer SP2 blocks JavaScript?!

It is because the "document.write" thing is the easiest way to put in a pop-up that a popup blocker won't block. it is also an easy way to put basically what would be "obscured" commands that could change the nature of the page.

That is how many spam pages attempt to hide their destinations, as well as hiding any malware they might be trying to download.

I hate it for the honest people who are suffering as a result, but I think it a good deal for the most part.

Bravo to Microsoft for finally appearing to get at least a little more serious about blocking the major ass holes in their systems.
