Actually 1.3 came out a few weeks ago Cindy: https://adblockplus.org/releases/adblock-plus-13-for-ie-released

Just when we think we know you, another wrinkle appears.....I am no collector but I do have quite a few of these also. This is my current favorite: http://www.amazon.com/power-DP-024AACR-C-Aluminium-Flashlight-CR123A/dp/B00GLS4QHS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424404567&sr=8-1&keywords=depower+flashlight The best ones I have are " "Streamlight"'s like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Streamlight-ProTac-2-AA-Black-Flashlight-88033/202872679?N=5yc1vZc23tZ47i

Yes but did you read this: "As an update on this... Due to some issues (browser pop up behavior for example), with the Superfish Visual Discovery browser add-on, we have temporarily removed Superfish from our consumer systems until such time as Superfish is able to provide a software build that addresses these issues. As for units already in market, we have requested that Superfish auto-update a fix that addresses these issues." Like I said I have sold 10 of these last year and never saw this thing, and if I did it would be out of there. Look at all the garbage Dell and HP install that is spyware and they always have. Weather Bug, Yontoo and all that other junkware those guys have always installed. I must have sold about 30 refurbished ones as well in the last 5 years and never seen one piece of spyware on any Lenovo.

Other than "Disk Cleanup" I have never used any of them. I have used "Action Center" from time to time and that has been quite helpful.

I have to agree Bob though consistently its the one I always find myself back on for as screwy as it can get if I wait long enough FF will be a lot worse. I tried so hard to get to Like IE 11 and I just cannot do it, it is almost painful by comparison, like stepping back into the last century....so I wind up using Chrome the most. Do you really think a beta will be less buggy than the browser? Hey I suppose with pcs anything can happen! As I always say my 2 favorite words "computer science", the complete antithesis of words that do not belong together!

For goodness sake they all do the same crap and if you buy HP I will just bet 50% odds the mobo will go in up to 2 years is what I have been seeing. I have sold about 10 Lenovos this year and I feel like the Maytag Man as they never call me but maybe once or twice with a question....Yeah buy a Dell laptop it will keep you busy!

Yep me too I even have one with a headband but it is so damn clumsy to aim, easier to put one of these in my teeth (for as long as I have them)! I have them in all shapes and sizes but this one could be better with flood or spotlight...drawback is 3 AAA batteries as most have one AA battery!

Any of you who down own one of these should from the dimly lit restaurant where you can't read the menu, to the client's house where you have never seen such poor lighting I am never without one of these! This is the best price I have ever seen...... This adjustable beam flashlight is perfect for indoor, outdoor, camping and emergency uses. The powerful 3 watt CREE LED bulb features an adjustable zoom and can be used for flood focus, spot focus, or as a strobe. With a glow in the dark switch you'll always be able to find this flashlight, even in the dark. It uses 3 AAA batteries that are included and lasts for 5 hours. The 300 Lumens allow for 275m of light distance. Features: Adjustable focus for flood or spotlight Can be used as high beam, low beam, or strobe Durable pocket clip Glow in the dark on/off switch Powerful 3 watt light Requires 3 AAA batteries, which are included What's Included: One (1) i-Zoom 300 Lumens CREE LED 3 Watt Flashlight Three (3) AAA batteries http://www.gearxs.com/i-zoom-300-lumens-cree-led-3-watt%20flashlight?src=email

I probably should try it as Bookmarks in Chrome is one of the things I hate the most about Chrome and anything would be an improvement. I am somewhat gun shy of 64 bit browsers because of all the issues with Java and Flash Player over the last few years.

Welcome James, look forward to seeing you on the boards!

Well we know that its all of us.

I have been debating trying the hybrids. In the past I read all negatives on them but one of our Paltalkers who I respect alot is raving about a 2 Tb he just bought..

I did also but forgot to mention it.

Great price but I am still hung up myself with hard drive over 1 Gb being somewhat unstable.

I have seen this one before and it did amaze me!

I never look at the color of the icon Dougie...only when the warning comes up so I missed that we are grey here actually so you are quite right here.

That was one of the reasons I forced myself to use Chrome since they did this 2 years earlier. If I were honest I still don't like the interface of Chrome but the browser is so much more reliable on a regular basis.

No you are not missing it I forgot to put the link in: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832416776

Mozilla yesterday detailed plans to require Firefox add-ons to be digitally signed, a move meant to bear down on rogue and malicious extensions, and one that resembled Google's decision years ago to secure Chrome's add-on ecosystem. Some Firefox users called out Mozilla for disregarding its own long-and-often-expressed ethos of the need for an open Internet. "We're responsible for our add-ons ecosystem and we can't sit idle as our users suffer due to bad add-ons," said Jorge Villalobos, the add-ons developer relations lead at Mozilla, in a blog post Wednesday. Firefox, which celebrated its 10th-year anniversary last November, has long been known for its laissez-faire approach to add-ons, one of the features that propelled it to a 25% share of all browsers in 2009 and helped revitalize the browser market. As of January 2015, Firefox owned a 12% user share of all browsers, according to analytics company Net Applications. Add-ons have gotten out of hand, said Mozilla's Villalobos and the rules must be tightened. "Extensions that change the homepage and search settings without user consent have become very common, just like extensions that inject advertisements into Web pages or even inject malicious scripts into social media sites," he said, citing reasons for the digital-signing requirement. An earlier attempt to stymie bad add-ons with a list of developer guidelines didn't work, in large part because Firefox add-ons can be hosted anywhere -- much like Android apps -- not only on AMO (Mozilla Add-On), the browser's official mart. One option Mozilla considered but discarded was to mimic Chrome by requiring all Firefox add-ons to be downloaded from AMO. "We believe that forcing all installs through our distribution channel is an unnecessary constraint," Villalobos said. Instead, Mozilla will require all add-ons to be digitally signed. Those approved for hosting on AMO will be automatically signed by Mozilla, but others intended for distribution outside AMO must still be submitted for review, and thus, signing. Mozilla will run automated checks for malicious content or operation on all extensions submitted to AMO, with manual review as a backup. A third option for add-ons that will never be publicly distributed -- ones crafted by a business, for example, for use only by its employees -- will exist. "We'll have more details available on this in the near future," Villalobos promised. Once the new policy takes effect, unsigned add-ons will not be installable on Firefox's Release and Beta builds, the most stable, most popular of Mozilla's four channels. Unsigned extensions will be able to be installed on the other two channels, Aurora and Nightly. Mozilla plans to use a two-cycle transition period -- each cycle is six weeks, the interval between Firefox version numbers -- to ease users into the new policy. During the transition, unsigned add-ons will only trigger an on-screen warning. Villalobos said that Mozilla aims to debut the warning-only transition with Firefox 39, now slated for release on June 30. If it makes that schedule -- Mozilla often pushes back changes to future release cycles -- that means only signed add-ons would be allowed as of Firefox 41, which has a Sept. 22 launch date. Mozilla's current Release build is Firefox 35; the next, Firefox 36, is scheduled to launch Feb. 24. The Firefox add-on changes are reminiscent of those Google has pursued for Chrome since mid-2012, when the search company gradually began applying controls over extensions. Like Villalobos yesterday, Google cited rogue add-ons --particularly those that changed the browser's home page and sneaky criminals, who silently installed malicious extensions onto unwary users' copies of Chrome -- for its lockdown. In May 2014, Google crippled almost all add-ons that had been installed from sources other than the Chrome Web Store, the browser's official distribution market. While Mozilla won't go that far, Villalobos' announcement was met with skepticism by many who appended comments to his post. "This is contrary to all of Mozilla's values," asserted Daniel Miranda in a Thursday comment. "All the talk of openness and then turning the browser into a walled garden is unacceptable. It is not compatible with anything Mozilla has stood for. It is a political solution masking over a technical failure of Firefox to properly sandbox its add-ons." "So Mozilla principle #5, 'Individuals must have the ability to shape the Internet and their own experiences on it,' is now a misnomer," said AnonCoward. "They only have this ability IF approved by Mozilla." AnonCoward's reference was to the fifth of 10 principles that Mozilla touts as its "manifesto." "This is a very bad idea," Mike said yesterday. "Making the browser yet more Chrome-like will not help regain users, and will not help your goodwill. Someone should hire some people with a better sense of the Firefox community at Mozilla. Really, this is getting dire." Mozilla also solicited comments and questions about the new policy in a new discussion thread on one of its add-on forums. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2883649/mozilla-reveals-firefox-add-on-lockdown.html

VirusTotal's effort to reduce the number of flagged false positive results has received help from Microsoft. The anti-malware company, which was bought by Google last year for an undisclosed sum, said its "trusted source" program allows large software developers share their files so they can be quickly marked as safe by its antivirus program.
