Just so you understand, Webster...
The site you
initially inquired about where you have suspicions/concerns about a virus, you need not be concerned about. They are using a script, that although intended to stop people from right-clicking to save smiley images, is incorrectly coded and does
not stop people using non-IE browsers (eg: Firefox) from saving the images.
This is the incorrectly coded javascript in use on
that page...
CODE
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function traitesmiley(url) {
var affalert = document.optionalert.alertbox.checked;
var pastinfo = '[url=http:\/\/www.vegegifs.com][img]'+url+'[\/img][\/url]';
var copyText = pastinfo;
if (window.clipboardData) { // IE send-to-clipboard method.
window.clipboardData.setData('Text', copyText);
} else if (window.netscape) {
// You have to sign the code to enable this or allow the action in about:config by changing user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');
// Store support string in an object.
var str = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/supports-string;1"].createInstance (Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString);
if (!str) return false;
str.data=copyText;
// Make transferable.
var trans = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/transferable;1"].createInstance (Components.interfaces.nsITransferable);
if (!trans) return false;
// Specify what datatypes we want to obtain, which is text in this case.
trans.addDataFlavor("text/unicode");
trans.setTransferData("text/unicode",str,copyText.length*2);
var clipid=Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard;
var clip = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard;1"].getService(clipid);
if (!clip) return false;
clip.setData(trans,null,clipid.kGlobalClipboard);
}
if (affalert == true) { alert('Le Lien a été copié, pour utiliser Edition/Coller ou Crtl-V \n'); }
return true;
}
</script>
There are 2 ways to overcome the problem with acquiring smiley images on that page, when using browsers that utilize the IE engine...
1) Use a 'good' browser instead of the crappy IE browser to visit that page (eg:
Mozilla Firefox)
2) View the source code to the page by opening it in a text editor (eg: Windows Notepad or
Editpad). Locate and then eliminate/delete the javascript code I posted above from the page source code, but also include a BASE HREF tag immediately following the beginning
<html> tag, and immediately preceding the beginning
<head> tag in the page source code, referencing the site source, like so...
<base href="http://www.vegegifs.com/">Then save the page locally on your hard drive. Open the modified page in the IE browser (or any browser really). From that point forward, right-click 'Save as' or 'Save target as' or 'Save picture as' actions will be back to 'normal'.
The 2nd method will allow you to use the crappy IE browser to acquire smiley images from the source site, when you open your 'modified' page that you have saved locally on your hard drive (providing that you have an internet connection).
