Adds a new Security one - to not show Pictures in HTML email - these

No - but it discourages you from using Low security in Internet zone by
making it not available as default. It adds a popup stopper, and a
warning bar that comes up if you try downloading executables - this can
be turned off

No

Note that Messenger Service is unrelated to the other two. If disabled
it is not turned on again
It might reinstall Windows Messenger if you had actually removed it, but
should not change settings to merely not load it. It does nothing about
MSN Messenger

No to those
>14- Enable the firewall
Yes. There is then an item in Control Panel to adjust its settings, or
to disable it if you want to use another. Indeed some third party ones
like latest Zone Alarm will disable it when they load
>15- Add Sample Music and/or Pictures to my folders
No
>16- Enable Automatic Updates
It will offer to turn them on; you can say no. There is then another
new Control Panel applet for them
>17- Effect my wireless network in any way
For the better. It makes for much slicker setting up and connection to
any new network
>18- Effect my Internet connection in any way
>19- Have any effect on the way my AV functions
No, but security Center - see below - may comment that the AV is not
saying it is up to date
>20- Require constant attention to system checks and notices
Only one is the 'Security Center' which might come in to tell you that
Firewall AV and AutoUpdate are not fully active, You can click its
'Change way . . . advises me' to avoid it
