Regarding browsers I've been MS free too, I still use Windows XP though, it still is one of the things or the only thing really good that MS has developed IMHO. I'm anxiously waiting for the final Windows 7 version, I heard the Beta version is great and stable, way better than Vista.

Well I finally upgraded to IE8..no problems yet. I also went and got a fix workaround from Microsoft for the XP Active X problem. It disables it or something.

BTW..has anyone heard of a trojan called SHeur2.APPL ?

Thank you. I went and downloaded that and apart from finding some minor things it said my system was clear. I was getting a virus threat warning whenever I tried to launch my Pirates of the Caribbean Online game. I finally figured out that AVG was giving me a false positive..its done that before with this game..and I went on the game forums and seems other people were having the same problem. So I just went into AVG and made my game launcher file an exception and now everything is back to normal. Probably AVG will fix this at some point. It seems to have a problem with the launcher for the Disney game.

I'm getting a bit better at techie things. LOL
