IE 9 blocks malware and Chrome let it on your pc. IE 9's Protected Mode blocked it. I wish he would've tested FF 4, as that's my go to browser. If I install Chrome, I usually ditch it within a day or two. Until Google get's DownThemAll as an extension. They can keep it. As far as CCleaner and tracking cookies. Try running it in Safe Mode. Still I doubt CCleaner will remove them, as tracking cookies are malware. If you use Easy Duplicate Finder, which is a good program with 1 exception. Every time they post an update for it. The update always has a tracking cookie. That's even if you uncheck the 3 boxes for the Ask b.s. It's sad when you buy software and they put tracking cookies in it. As far as your USB 3 backup drive. Temprarily disable your ESET and SUPERAntiSpyware, until the driver is installed and restart and try it. Then re-eanble ESET & SUPERAntiSpyware. With driver's, it's a must to disable security app's until the driver's are installed. I doubt your WD Caviar Blue has any jumpers, as Caviar Blue's are sata drive's only ide/eide drive's have jumper's. If it still doesn't work you may need a USB 2.0 enclosure for that specific drive. After all, if anything it's a Sata 2 or 3, not a Sata 6.

I sent that enclosure back to Newegg for a replacement, brkkab. It no longer even worked even in the USB 2.0 port, even on my desktop. Something was wrong with it from the beginning. It finally quit working altogether.
Nibs showed me how to assemble these backup drives, I've done 3 of them, with no problems. It's not hard to do at all. In fact, as soon as I can, I'm going to buy another HDD, a 2TB one, for a larger backup drive.
This will free up the 320GB Caviar Blue that I have, so that I can run Mint on a HDD by itself.
As far as my security and connecting these drives goes, like I stated, I've assembled 3 of them, and they worked. The last one (the 4th) didn't, but that had to do with the bad enclosure (probably the chipset) more than my security. But if I have problems with the replacement, I'll do as you suggested.
