If you have to use IE7 you NEED this!
Pros: This is a simply wonderful addition to IE7. It adds a lot of functionality to the browser that just isn't available (or easily available) without it. From Ad-Blocking (very much like AdBlock Plus for Firefox), to User Scripts (like Grease Monkey for Firefox), easily applying Proxy server settings, Closed Tab History, Session restoration, and User Plugins to do things like present server information, give you your local forecast, and many many more. This is just too handy and makes IE7 at least a little more viable a competitor to Firefox.
Cons: It doesn't do anything to fix the inherent security problems in IE7 - but that's not their fault, they can't do what Microsoft won't/can't. The biggest thing I gripe about with this is that the filter creator for blocking ads is not as intuitive as it could be (See "Element Hiding Helper" for Firefox and you'll see what I mean). But all in all it's very much worth it to block the ads it does by default. Their forums can help you learn how to create effective blocking filters for most things.
