Vista - Windows Explorer 8 Update

I downloaded and installed the subject update. The first thing I observed was that my McAfee virus protection program became corrupted and had to be completely uninstalled and reinstalled.. I went thru that process and now find that my IE Browser no longer has the Popup control icon available. and I am experiencing Popup activity. How may I regain control of Popup activity as I have in IE 7? In addition I must sign in each time I enter the Browser in order to use my Bookmarks. Does Microsoft consider this to be progress?

I've never had a problem with McAfee beside Comcast gives it to me for nothing.

You can get free anti-virus solutions which are better than the Comcast
offer..

Do a search on Avast or Avira.. both are better than McAfee

How about finally removing those silly messages from your ESET program.
You have shown them long enough by now.

Very interesting - so far all I get is bad mouthing McAfee and nothing to help me with the problem.

then you are going to have to choose which product you want.

By the way, I use NOD32 as a real-time av-program and Avira Antivir
(free) as on-demand second-opinion scanner.

Just as OP I can download McAfee from my provider for nothing, but I
prefer to keep my PC healthy and I avoid all products from McAfee and
Norton (Symantec), also know as "bloatware".

Maybe Bob H should reconsider his preference for McAfee.
He would not be the first one, nor be the last one to do so.
