Yep, Console blocking is fully activated by default. You get a little bar at the top of any page that creates them informing you and you can choose to display them if you want - or totally block without being informed in the future.Originally posted by Icy

Also Outlook Express won't display images any more by default so spammers can't detect active email addresses any more. Neither can email senders check whether you have read an email from them ;)
You also get the Windows Firewall for free - no need to buy any firewall products now - each time a program on your PC tries to use a port you are warned and can allow or ban it.
There's a lot more too!

i have had next to NO problems with win xp... but only recently i get the occasional 'invalid memory referenced at address 00x089037307' or some shit warning... pahhh, its a lot better then ol' win 98' type bugs and crashes.SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.Comment
