I must say I can't take your word according to my testing.
I've tested on Clean Licensed Windows 7 Professional Edition 64-bit
with latest windows updates applied (as of Today -sept 09 2010). I
used Acros Security's 64 bit demo.

Should I make movie to prove that like
1- Updating Windows (check for updates) ,
2 - Go to \\www.binaryplanting.com\demo\windows_address_book_64
3 - See the popup box

?

That is what others said, yet it installed automatically on mine.
The only interaction was that I allowed it to be downloaded and
installed....not really geeky at all...

I must say you'll have to take my word on it.

MS issued a patch quite some time ago.

That is not a "patch", not installed by default: is only for
uber-geeks who manually install it. Was issued a week ago, in
response to this kerfuffle, not "quite some time ago".

Which setting of CWDIllegalInDllSearch did you choose: was it
0xFFFFFFFF which may be "safe", but is known to break Outlook
(and others), as noted in

(geeks can add further tweaks to the registry to fix).
