It picked up WinPCap libraries on my system (from the Ethereal install), nothing else. I wouldn't have much else on there for it to pick up, as I only use IE for some internal corporate apps that require it. But the install was nice and seemed to be very user-friendly for the non-techie types out there. It may not be perfect (I thought the Spyware Community was essentially sending back to a central site, didn't realize it was P2P, this requires a closer look) but at a minimum it's nice to see MS giving this some attention. Fix the IE holes and security model and maybe we'd go even further... But that's a flame war for another day. -- Kyle Maxwell [krmaxwell@...il.com]
