And it has for a long time. I have learned a lot from that the people that post in there.
And Eric Howes in particular is to be commended. Not only for his ridiculously thorough test, but for IE-SPYAD. For those who have never heard of it, it is a registy file that adds a huge list of malware sites to the restricted zones of IE, and in turn OE. If the restricted zone is properly configured, which it is pretty much out of the box, then javascript, activex, cookies, etc will be blocked. It is very easy to use, updated often, and no resources. It should be used by all as a first line of defense.

There's three ways to do things. The right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way. Isn't that the wrong way? Yeah, but faster. |

| IE-SPYAD is great and I use it.
Only downside is that on a low end machine, running HiJackThis takes a big hit during the system scan with all those banned sites in the registry. This is a small price to pay for the added security.
Other than that, I have only good things to say about IE-SPYAD and recommend it highly. |

I've been using it for about 6 months now.
I love it. Have it installed on all of the domain controllers at my admin job and all of my personal customers machine. Have heard nothing put praise.

If you think an expert is expensive just wait until you hire an amateur. |
