@shared3 – Yup! For once, MS made a minimalist product that gets the job done without a lot of useless features (though I bet this will change as time goes on).
The latest Norton on my new machine was nagging me about everything I did, wanting to save my passwords for me (Windows already does that reletively transparently). It was driving me nuts!
The one thing that MSE lacks that Norton has that I liked was that Norton warned you if you clicked a Google search link to a phishing site. The fix for that is a toolbar called World Of Trust. It puts a little traffic light next to each Google link (GREEN = site is safe, YELLOW = most porn sites are yellow, well, just because they’re porn sites, RED = phishing or virus site).
