    It is available in Firefox too if you enable them under Options/Security.

    Yeah, but let's face it, that eliminates 99% of end users from the get-go. For the vast majority of us the only thing it does is slow you down with unnecessary bloat. And for Firefox users worse, it poisons your browser with an add-on that is by definition Adware... in that it installs itself without your consent and then is difficult to get rid of (a registry tweak is needed).

    I use security software to PREVENT things like that from getting onto my computer.

    I hope it is incorporated into Windows7 better than it is XP.

    Also it doesn't seem EMET is that useful to XP anyway. Most of the functionality isn't possible, and I have DEP enabled already.

    Must be conflicting with something on your setup. Chrome isn't crashing and I'm using it. Are you using it on Win7 32-bit or 64-bit?

    That might be your problem. Try disabling that and see if Chrome still crashes with Trusteer Rapport.

    I expect it to be a good program and will like to see it vs. real time malware. ESET 5 will have lots of reviews I'm sure, really as soon as released. I always liked Eset because it runs so smooth on my computer but kinda switched away because of its detection the last few years. Hopefully the HIPS remedies that. I wonder if it will be a smart HIPS with few pop ups and detailed messages? Hopefully so.
