Why is it that no one complains that Windows Update makes you check what you want
Because they leave the choice of the downloads up to the consumer.
Without any action, nothing is downloaded. That's the way it should be. :)

Which is part of the problem, Bob … no one wants to be responsible for the actions taken. It is far easier to place the blame on others such as Apple, Windows Update, etc for downloads the consumer later did not want installed.
Each computer user, and especially those regulars on forums such as this, should be advocating the use of responsible actions for the security of our computers and of those who come here for help. It is each consumer’s responsibility for the security of their computers as well as what is downloaded onto their computers no matter in what form the download is presented. The picture Tech posred clearly shows the difference in the downloads available. God forbid a consumer should have to read, think, and make a few mouse clicks to uncheck unwanted downloads that are clearly categorized.
I guess it’s hard to understand:
if it’s not checked, it wouln’t be downloaded
If it’s checked by default it will be downloaded
The first option (unchecked) can’t do any harm to your system if you select the download
or update button.
The second option get’s you the download and the junk you most likely didn’t want.
This has nothing to do with Apple vs Microsoft. It’s all about looking out for the consumer not “Big Business” ;D ;D

Ok, Bob, you win. It’s not hard at all for me to understand. I get your point but I guess you do not get mine nor the points the others posted. I’ll not debate this subject anymore as this is my last post on the subject.
I seem to have run into a problem with my email. ;D
Can any one help ???

There is a Topic on the forums about a similar UPS thing a UPS Invoice, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=37096.0.
This puts the Olympics’ balance bar to shame. Don’t miss the final routine.

Well it could have a big difference if it goes as planned. But if Malware writers get their hands on the information too(Insiders?), it would just give them advance notice too :-\

Mozilla Looks Beyond Firefox With Aurora Browser
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2327333,00.asp
Wasn’t Firefox 3 just released?

If you sit and wait resting on your laurels others will pass you by. IE 8 is about to go into beta two and windows 7 (although not a browser) is in development and MS hasn’t got the adoption of Vista that it would have liked.
IT is a fast moving business.
The key components of Aurora include: natural interaction, continuity, multi-user applications, and context awareness.
Will it be only a browser or a suite of on-line applications? If the last is true, well, Firefox could stay there as a fantastic browser...
