Very useful stuff here, first and foremost TweakUI. There's also Alt+Tab replacement, a thumbnail preview for the Alt Tab buttons, an image resizer.

hmm... I don't have IE7 on my computer right now. I did scan it with dr.web mozilla extension and it came up clean.

It should be ok. Here is the site that I got the newsletter from.

It probably is fine I know IE7 is just a RC 1 release may be a bug I sent the info to MS through the browser so if it's a leget site that they support it shouldn't come up with a warning like it does.
