Actually, I've got a personnal message from a friend that installed the
patch on 2 PCs with IE8b2 on and PCTOOLS FW instead of COMODO3 FW. Since
COMODO already did this to me in the past, I'm going to remove it all
cleanly and that is my last chance. I'll keep IE8 b2 because I like it
better than IE7 and it's stable. I'll let you know.
