What are the risks of watching a streamed video via WMP. I generally avoid using most of the MS integrated applications at least with the internet.

How to block ads in Google Chrome with AdSweep
Chrome users don't have to put up with ads if they don't want to, though. If a proxy-based blocker isn't your thing, then why not install AdSweep - either as a Userscript or a Chrome extension. They're essentially the same thing right now, since extensions are basically Userscripts in a wrapper. Whichever way you want to install AdSweep, here's what to do.

Since it's available as a Userscript, users of other browsers can take advantage of AdSweep, too - just check on the homepage for instructions. Now, let's get it working in Chrome

I would be happy if I could just win the lottery of windows updates, 7 days later and I still haven't got all the security updates from patch Tuesday yet, 6 down and 2 to go. The WU system try icon rears it ugly head every now and again but doesn't stay for long.

Omid Farhang,
