Hmm, I too Block 3rd party cookies, but allow first party and session cookies only. I might change that to prompt first party and see how it goes.

Still, it might be your opinion of IE7/8 but that doesn’t necessarily make it good advice for others, same goes probably even more so for recommending WD only to accompany Avast!

OK, in regards to SAS and why I’ve thought it might be malicious as a free version but not the paid Pro version has to do with this video with a spoof address for a rogue SAS download page - not that anyone should follow the link in the video because it is by a NZ guy who posted several videos inwhich he recommended a rogue Spyware Removal Tool scam. This is a very good example of what to avoid on the net, notice the address is not the real SAS URL that hayc59 posted the link to above in this thread.

(DO NOT go to the link at the end of this video or in the description - it is a fake link to a rogue.)

Now I realise this is one example of a bogus SAS download link by a know A-S rogue promoter, but I’m just illustrating that things can be dicey out there and indicate that I was put off SAS. I have read comments elsewhere on the Net that SAS free wasn’t good, or became bad plus it has a prevalent piracy / cracking issue, with a number of videos of how to do that with SAS to get the upgrade to the Pro version, etc. I wonder why so many seem to want to do that, unless SAS free isn’t good and possibly a bit bad. This is different to what this NZ rogue promoter is doing in the video, although his fake site is called “free pro”, which kind of gives it away, because as with Avast! the Pro version is not free.

Here is a recent video comparing SAS and MBAM and shows SAS as very poor, although I don’t think the video making reviewer performed this all that brilliantly and possibly hasn’t configured or set SAS to scan properly or highly enough and also counts 8 + 1 as 8.

Just showing you SAS fans why I’m skeptical about the free version - I might give it another go though, but I’ll download it safely from a legitimate site.
