If you didn't know, this was announced a week or so ago, which is good
news, because it means that NoScript has once again come to the
rescue.

If you don't know what that is, then you probably aren't using
FireFox.  NoScript is an extremely important extension for FireFox
that will prevent just about every known scripting vulnerability in
HTML, DHTML, XHTML, Java, JavaScript, etc.  NoScript is not available
for any of the other browsers, regardless of platform.  NoScript works
on all platforms that Firefox runs on.

So my first recommendation to all of my folks is
1) Install FF
2) Install NoScript
3) Just for your own sanity also install AdBlockPlus.  I have my folks
subscribe to EasyList inside AdBlock Plus (the subscriptions will pop
up when ABP launches for the first time)
5) Install CustomizeGoogle.  For the latter make sure that all of the
services that can be so set are set to use https instead of http.
6) Don't call me.  The only reason you would call me is if you did not
do one of the steps in 1-5, or when you were presented with a warning
or something requiring confirmation you made the wrong decision.

While people who complain that Vista is to restrictive are going to
not like NoScript at first, either, more importantly, they won't be
calling me for help.
