If you're using Autoupdate and don't want IE7 just yet, better act quickly and run the blocker...

For info, I've been using it for about a week now and it seems OK and stable for my general browsing activities...so far

Although, I hated the 'Clear Type' function... must be my foggy eyesight - even the tune up didn't fix it.

I have auto-updates enabled. Mainly so I get updates for Msoft's very good Defender anti-spyware product. However, I don't allow auto-installs and review all updates offered as some just are not relevant to my system. I think there are at least 3 non-essential updates in the list at the moment: in fact installing one of them caused a conflict with my video card drivers so it will remain firmly in the unwanted bin.

Instructions for altering your auto-update setting are given in the link given above.
