I read the page. :P
Seems that Firefox does what it is told to do when executed.
IE can be told to execute a program other than itself.
The problem only arrises while IE is online and surfing the web.
The problem does not arrise when a person is using FireFox.
FireFox acessing the same site does nothing.

Mr Narine is obviously on crack.
