Beware of FREE stuff..
That is what I tell my users, friends and family. Unless it is published under the GPL or similar license I wouldnt trust it.

I recently had to install the weather bug software to monitor a server and it asked if I wanted the my search toolbar. I selected no, the damn thing installed it anyway, and added about 10 different registry entries that spybot S & D and adaware found.

Personally I feel IE is a perfect (um... well it's OK.)intranet browser for my local servers but a horrible internet browser.

I am about at the point to make .msi's of Firefox and use AD to push them to all clients.

MS should just tell everyone look were going to make massive changes to IE and its gonna break alotta **** so start preparing now.
