Just roll back to 2.26.1...that's what I've done after testing later

Security fixes would be the issues. :(
Sometimes I wonder about these "security fixes". I'm tempted to think
they are more critical for PC users than for Mac users. Personally,
I've never noted any particular benefit from them...and maybe that's
because they work. Maybe it's because I use Macs. Maybe it's just
because of my own habits...I just really don't know.
But in my case I'm more concerned about user experience than I am about
"security fixes" that I can't see or tell anything about. Just using SM
itself is better than following the herd, IMO.
I think it depends on the user's knowledge of their computer system.
My home xp machines use SM1119 without any ill effects and don't
have any anti-bad-stuff scanners or blockers active.
I scan the machines when/if they act up, which is rarely.
Have yet to find any bad stuff on my home machines, since 1989.
JS is off, html email is off, flash is off.
I don't click on eye candy and certainly not on any green
pop-ups that say "Download now to fix your computer".
Kids are the worst offenders because they click on everything.
I have two co-worker's laptops here now that are so badly infected
that I may have to wipe and reinstall W7 on both due to them
letting their kids play with their laptops. The laptops
supposedly were fully protected against bad stuff.
