Internet Explorer Address Bar Spoofing Test

Test to see if your browser is vulnerable to the "Internet Explorer URL Spoofing Vulnerability".

From the above page:

After you have clicked the link:
If your address bar only says "http://www.microsoft.com" then your browser is vulnerable.

Also, notice that your status bar (lower left corner of IE) only displays "http://www.microsoft.com" when holding the mouse cursor over the link.

Note:
I think this is critical especially if you are doing online banking or shopping.
