    True but if I can remember correctly bigc73542 was a fan of Avira. I could be mistaken though.

    I am currently using ScriptBlock and I am quite satisfied from the simplicity and the effectiveness of blocking scripts. I think you must try it.

    Whats the memory usage of EMET ? I want to give it a try but dont want to overload my system.

    Right now EMET_Agent is using 40MB of my memory. But this is only agent that notifies you about blocked processes. Using this software won't slow down your system. It only loads additional dll when protected applications are run.

    I've been testing out Chrome a little bit. I have plugins set to click to play but I noticed something funny. I was on Youtube, testing addblocking with Scriptsafe and I loaded the same video multiple times from the homepage. Sometimes, it played without requiring authorization. It turns out that sometimes I was using the HTML5 player on Youtube instead. I did some quick Googling, and apparently you can disable flash and strictly use HTML5 (on Youtube at least). Kinda neat.

    Also, does anyone know how much overlap there is between Chrome's built in malware domain checking and Adblock Plus's malware domain blocking?

    I have. But ScriptSafe passed 5 out of 6 tests provided by tlu-san. ScriptBlock failed on test #2. I'm not sure about how to interpret the 6th test result though.

    There's one thing that made me feel a little uncomfortable with ScriptBlock, the "allow access to file URLs" option. I know we can disable it but it bothers me by just being there. :doubt:
