    I still have a good 6 months on my Avira license and version 11 may open my umbrella again. For now I plan to bring Online Armor Premium back on board and with Vipre I should be well fortified. Anyway I think the Houston area could use all the showers we can get eh...:cool:

    Thanks for the answers.

    We seem to have quite some feelings in common: I also don't like running multiple user accounts, I also like to keep it as it came out of the box and I also like to keep it simple.

    IE9 also has the tracking protection lists which do a good job at blocking advertisements in my eyes.

    It is good to know that, I just keep my system clean and simple.

    About IE9, today I will create a snapshot of the system and will install it (I will Also install Adobe Reader X 10.1) and if all goes well, I'll be with these programs. Anything, just go back in time. :p

    Sorry for my English!

    Interesting, didn't know that the final version would leave already on that month, thank you for prompting, in this case, I will wait for final release.

    Where you saw that he will leave on that day?

    yesterday:
    - uninstalled Sandboxie

    today:
    - uninstalled Chrome
    - turned on UAC (to max) so IE Protected Mode is on.
    so far, UAC has not gotten on my nerves so it might just stay. ;)

    might install EMET and waiting for IE9 final on Monday.
