Hi Chris,
Worst case scenerio is to use the Live Toobar right now. I've used it many
times in the past and came up with problems. Worst one I find is with the
Phishing Filter. When I try to close my IEplore, it hangs on me and won't
close, then I get error messages with them, as recent as today even. Best bet
is to stay with the most recent toobar on http://toolbar.msn.com and don't
try those beta versions or add-ons unless you are ready to deal with possible
trouble. While some Microsoft Beta testing has been good, you would not want
to ruin your IExplorer. Its integrated as part of the entire Windows
operating system now 'a days with WinXP. Play it safe and stick with the
original toolbar for now. Wait for future until problems are safe. Unless you
have backup setup, I'd stay away from the extras and the betas for the
toolbar. The basic one is good enough unless you like testing.
