So who can you trust? That question is especially important when you take into account the design of this feature in the IE9 RC. You can install multiple TPLs, and an Allow rule on any list trumps a Block rule on another list. So if you’re the owner of a big network of web properties, and you see a site visitor arrive using IE9, wouldn’t you want to helpfully offer that visitor the option to install a Tracking Protection List that whitelists all your domains? All in the interests of improved user experience, of course. {Emphasis added}
As you can see from the table, TRUSTe’s current TPL represents advertisers, not consumers. TRUSTe’s TPL, unlike any of the others, consists exclusively of Allow rules for entire domains. Remember: Allow rules trump Block rules. So, if your domain is one of the nearly 4000 on the current version of the TRUSTe list, you’ve got a Get Out of Jail free card in IEP with any user who installs the TRUSTe list.

I am getting frustrated here with trying to resolve some of these issues. First of all, how "safe" is Windows as a whole? For example, if Windows Security page pops up from the internet and says your computer has been infected and if you don't download their program your computer will crash?
Absolutely, most adults could operating a car but they need to be educated in how to do it safely. Same for operating a computer on today's web... people need to know how to do it safely.Corrine wrote:Thus, my comment that education is key
