   Thanks. Can we wait on the Fixit patch and just stay with the Firefox, which I like?

   It’s nice to be able to run this Fixit as a downloaded application. Previous Fixits required running the process through the browser, and security considerations often prevented this. This one downloaded and ran within my security configuration with no problems. Nice to see Microsoft finally getting it about workarounds.

   Absolutely. As long as you’re using Firefox or Chrome, you’re safe.

   Woody’s “Absolutely” should be read as referring to Sanda’s comment, not mine.

   Hi. Please address the new Windows Secrets
   idea of OpenDNS for safe surfing. It’s totally confusing to me. Would Firefox do as well?

   And doesn’t the new AVG8.5Free address that with its little symbols of “safe” when googling, next to items listed? What am I missing? (I’m never the only one.)
