    Not to mention Google's latest comments about people that don't do anything have nothing to hide.

    Hey -- I use SRWare Iron, too. However, I've also got Chrome installed -- I like the auto-updating. Give me that in Iron, and I'll uninstall Chrome. I'll even get my relatives to use it!

    As is, however, I can't in any confidence give them Iron -- if so, the next time I happen to check their computers, a year from now, they'll still be running the same version, even though many updates and security fixes might have been released by SRWare since then.
