Windows Explorer 8 Update

    I downloaded and installed the subject update. The first thing I
    observed was that my McAfee virus protection program became corrupted
    and had to be completely uninstalled and reinstalled.. I went thru that
    process and now find that my IE Browser no longer has the Popup control
    icon available. and I am experiencing Popup activity. How may I regain
    control of Popup activity as I have in IE 7? In addition I must sign in
    each time I enter the Browser in order to use my Bookmarks. Does
    Microsoft consider this to be progress?

    If it gets rid of McAfee I'd say its progress.

    I've never had a problem with McAfee beside Comcast gives it to me for
    nothing.

    You can get free anti-virus solutions which are better than the Comcast
    offer..

    Do a search on Avast or Avira.. both are better than McAfee

    How about finally removing those silly messages from your ESET program.
    You have shown them long enough by now.

    - Advanced setup
    - Email client protection
    - Alerts and notifications
    - Append tag messages to ........ (2 x)
    ("To infected mail only")

    Uninstall IE8 and reinstall. If this problem turns into a vicious cycle,
    then you are going to have to choose which product you want.

    Thank you.
    :))

    By the way, I use NOD32 as a real-time av-program and Avira Antivir
    (free) as on-demand second-opinion scanner.

    Just as OP I can download McAfee from my provider for nothing, but I
    prefer to keep my PC healthy and I avoid all products from McAfee and
    Norton (Symantec), also know as "bloatware".

    Maybe Bob H should reconsider his preference for McAfee.
    He would not be the first one, nor be the last one to do so.
    ;-)
