YouTube Will Be Next To Kiss IE6 Support Goodbye
,----[ Quote ]
| Judging by this screenshot taken by an IE6 user who was watching some videos
| on YouTube, it appears the Google company will be phasing out support for the
| browser shortly. I don’t have Internet Explorer 6 installed on my computer,
| so I can’t verify this first hand, but illogical it seems not and a simple
| Twitter search shows multiple people confirming the news. Heck, some are even
| downright ecstatic over the news.

Much Ado About IE6

| Should Digg block IE6?
|
| Currently, IE6 usage accounts for 10% of Digg visitors and 5% of page views
| on Digg. While this is down from 13% and 8% a year ago respectively, IE6
| still accounts for a fairly large portion of Digg usage. That said, a lot of
| time is spent by Digg engineers supporting site activity like diggs, buries,
| and comments in IE6, and while it accounts for 5% of site traffic, IE6
| accounts for only 1% of diggs, buries, and comments.

How to beat AVG's fake traffic spew
,----[ Quote ]
| This has caused an enormous spike in traffic on sites across the web,
| including The Register, and many webmasters may not realize where these hits
| are coming from. Hoping to fool malware writers, LinkScanner mimics real live
| human clicks. At least in part.
|
| [...]
|
| To avoid confusion, we've updated this story to point out that webmasters are
| filtering traffic by identifying both the missing HTTP header and the IE6
| agent. It should also be noted that LinkScanner seems to be using two other
| user agents. But these are far less prevalent. At the moment, these are the
| three user agents the product seems to employ:
|
| Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
|
| User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
|
| User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1;1813)

AVG disguises fake traffic as IE6
,----[ Quote ]
| In late February, AVG paired its updated anti-virus engine with a real-time
| malware scanner that vets search engine results before you click on them. If
| you search Google, for instance, this LinkScanner automatically visits each
| address that turns up on Google's results page.
