[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 804659"] That's fair. My guess (and this is only a guess) is that MS is probably looking at this from the point of someone using WD, even though you can use this extension regardless of which AV you are using. WD doesn't have a web scanner in the traditional sense, so they are adding an extension. Furthermore both Google and Mozilla are very anti-hooking into the browser and would prefer extensions vs hooks. You don't have to look hard to see their stance on the matter and it's one of the reasons why they are very against 3rd party security programs. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the reasons. [/QUOTE]
