diana_eva Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 The Windows client uses IE to deliver ads (regardless of your default browser). Should we be worried? That's not a bug. The downloadable version embeds IE for pop-ups and other windows that go to web, even if your default browser is something else. See this thread for more detailed explanations from Uday and Fred:http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/29704-cannot-see-bbo-news/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Diana, I don't think you got the context of the question. Right now there's a bug in all IE versions that lets anyone do anything on your computer if you use them (only a slight exaggeration, TBH). The question is, since BBO uses IE for ads, should users be worried that this bug can be used to control their computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
