If you had con problem and installed Decon fix, you are now vulnerable
to another win 95(possibly)/98(tested) crash which is worse than the previous.

Software affected : All versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer (It
doesn't work in Netscape Navigator)

Actual problem :
Type existing server in address box, and then request for nonexistent file
with name >300 symbols. After server sends reply to the browser
your system stops responding at all, Control+Alt+Del work but you
won't see the box with tasks running so only thing you can do is
REBOOT.
Somebody can deface some good website and create a redirect
with 0 seconds waiting to such link.

Example : http://www.amsouth.com/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.html

Fix : Delete Decon fix from startup folder :) Now you are vulnerable
to con/con.
