I doubt that the scripting for R'osity's Notes windows is related to the Eolas case which deals with plug-in technology gush as ActiveX controls. The case itself is far from settled since there was ha huge industry outcry, even including Microsoft's competitors, over the verdict that prompted the Patent Office to reexamine Eolas' claims. I can highly recommend Grisoft's AVG antivirus as one of the best free products available. It's worked very well for me. Of course, IE works fine for me as well. Everyone has their own preferences.
