Slodave: I use Firefox as well. It's interesting what the scan found in ie, though even though I don't use it, block it with my firewall, and have pretty much neutered it. But because some apps require it I can't completely rip it's black heart out of my system. I particularly dislike the drm crap ie uses and whenever I find drm components I kill them.

John70t: Yeah, love the
js message - had to turn it on for the test also. However, it also wanted a network login (twice) which I did not provide. Would really like to know what that login was for. Outhouse express has been terminated with extreme prejudice on all my machines. Don't allow plugins, so no need for NoScript, though I've heard good things about it.
Your point about msconfig is excellent; Spybot also provides the utility to make those configurations.
All: This is all about the Mr-T scan.
The really interesting stuff is to be found under the "Ferret" link. It all makes sense, considering what an o/s has to do when booting up, but that is for those more knowledgeable than me.
