MS IE Patched
Firefox 2.0 and 3.0 patched
and Opera 9.63 released earlier this week

Let browsing begin again!

Other features include a spell checker and auto updating.

Firefox had this years ago, seriously is this accurate, Opera just got these?

This is somewhat inaccurate. Opera has had spell check for some time. (Can't recall how long, sorry.) The new part is that checking is done in-line, as you type. (I think I prefer the spell check on demand version.)

As well, Opera will currently check for updates periodically. The new auto-update is done for you, without you needing to confirm the update. (Again, I think I prefer the old way.)

But that is an interesting pic. I wonder what species that is.

Maybe these?

As someone said in this thread Opera bashing is always popular. If you comment that a great number of the Firefox addons are there to compensate for features that Opera has, but Firefox out-of-the-box lacks, you get modded to oblivion. Try saying that Chrome's tendancy to phone home is creepy. (Has that been fixed? I de-installed it as soon as I saw what was happening when I typed in the address bar and will not install it until that is off by default.)

The Canadian operation has "good strong sales and good earnings over the last several quarters"
the Canadian subsidiary had no choice but to seek the court's protection, which he said "was triggered by the filing in the United States."

Perhaps, "Blame the US" should be invoked? :-)

Pretty much every AV software has had false positives. This one is somewhat funny in that this false positive hit an important part of MicroSoft's operating system, but if it weren't for that, this would not be newsworthy.

If people didn't react with such a vigorous knee-jerk when their software detects a "virus" (ZOMG! burn the computer - it's InFeCTed!), things would be better. I like how TFA suggests disconnecting your computer so that AVG can't update ...
