I use Chrome 100% of the time, and the SS has never scanned a single script for me either. I was told by a mod in another thread, to open windows media player to see if the SS was working, and that was the only time it scanned anything. I have had my new machine for 10 months and have never even opened WMP, and I doubt I ever will again. So for me, it seems the SS is not needed.
I did a custom install and chose not to install Webrep, Gadget, Mail Shield, P2P Shield and IM Shield, since I have online Yahoo! mail and never use P2P or IM. Maybe I will go back and change my config to uninstall the Script Shield too.
