I know everything in that video. I usually, not always, go through all that on clients machines so they don't see popup surveys, ads, or any other garbage, I never used to have to do all that.
Personally on my machine I disable just the audio portion(I always did that) and change the definition update popup to 10 seconds. I like being informed when the defs are updated.
I also disable for clients and myself the community features and the credit alerts.
I don't find the popup messages informative at all, they're annoying. Dave, if you don't find the popups annoying why do you have them set to 1 second? What's the big deal?
