Toolbox Update For Saturday, February 07, 2004
Just a quick update. I’ve found and fixed some bugs in Trust Setter’s installer and uninstaller (with the help of a bunch of great folks over at PCQandA and Broadband Reports’ Security Forum). If you haven’t had a problem installing or uninstalling Trust Setter, you don’t need to upgrade. Otherwise, go to the Programs page to download the new version.

Hi, Jason. This is Rick (R2 - dslreports, etc.) I don’t know if you have a ‘forum’ any more — I don’t seem to be able to find it quickly on your new web site. No matter.
Just thought I would tell you about a slight glitch in TrustSetter. It involves websites that use a different port address. For example, I was using my lap on a wireless network and I needed to put the ‘access’ website into the Trusted sites zone. Clicking the “Check” icon opens up TrustSetters Add dialog, however the “site” that was added was:
190.0.11:1111
But, the actual site was:
207.190.9.11
The problem is fairly obvious — the trailing port number (1111) was assumed to be part of the ‘dotted decimal’ site address. Therefore the first number (207) was left off!
Likely this is not a frequent issue — or you would have heard of it before — but I thought you might find it interesting.
Good luck with your family.
Rick

Excuse my multiple typos! My daughter was yelling at me. I don’t find a way to edit my ‘post’, but the obvious errors are “lap top” and “207.190.0.11″. Sorry…. :-[

Jason,
Glad to see you are still moving along. I wanted to post a comment directly under the links regarding Trust Setter (and all other programs that use scripting) as I finally found a way to make it work in Vista.
I have been looking for Vista related powertoys, and stumbled across several toys that allowed for elevated access that are currently not usable in Vista - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2007/06/UtilitySpotlight/default.aspx
The script elevation powertoys include one for WSH - the scripting engine in Windows used to run VB Script files, among other. Using this powertoy, I now have a Run As Administrator associated with VBS files - and I was able to successfully install Trust Setter for IE 7 on Vista Ultimate.
I hope that this will generate an increased interest in your products again, as virtually everything you had written and released after WinMag I used at one time or another and always recommended to my friends. Now, even with Vista, I can do the same again.
Cheers!
