firefox hides as IE

[Zirus]

at work, there was this computer that had TONS of spyware / adware / IE hijacks on it. It was so bad you couldn't open IE w/o getting about 20 popups on the screen.

I knew that the users would be too stupid to click on anything that didn't look like internet explorer ( the big blue E ).

So.... I downloaded Firefox and installed it. I then changed all the firefox icons to Internet Explorer icons. They have no clue anything has changed. They haven't complained, and they all say it works great.

So, now an icon that LOOKS in everyway like IE, from the icon and the name, when launched, will launch Firefox. HAHAHAHAHA :ninja:

:D I thought you firefox guys would like that.

a nicer thing would've been to remove the spyware as well... lol!!!

[Zirus]

well, I did remove the spyware! haha, they'd come up if you were just sitting there.

But I made firefox look like IE to help keep the number of spyware apps installed to a minimum

Watch yourself.

Make sure you have permission to do this. If you work in the IT Department, make sure you have the permission to also do this.

I know someone that did this, not only did he get in trouble, but had to remove it.

prime example.

[meeseontheleese]

lol, we did the same thing to our school. Weve had so many viruses on the school computers that you couldnt turn them on without seeing at least 2 pairs of boobs, no joke. Now the computers are spyware free (lol i hope), and have firefox in place of IE. I swear, these computer illiterates know nothing is ever going on.

[kaptain chump]

ive done the same thing to some of my customers computers. I informed them ahead of time of my actions so that incase any rendering issues came up, they could take a long proess and open up IE to browse a single website.

[Rablet]

Good job Zirus1701 =)

[jack_canada]

I'm gonna do this on school library computers.

[D,Ranged]
