    BOBBO, glad to see you're still around! :) (Haven't seen you post Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware update notices lately.)

    hacksys, welecome to Windows BBS! :)

    According to PC World's copyright notice linked on the web page that displays the article BOBBO linked (which opens fine for me in Firefox 2.0.0.7), I'm afraid BOBBO cannot legally post the article without seeking permission from PC World.

    hacksys: Try going to Google.com, then clicking on News. The article should be there along with additional reports on it from other sources.

    mailman: Thanks for the tip about the copyright matter. I almost copied and pasted the article, until I saw your reply.

    I dumped Ad-Aware after upgrading to the 2007 version and becoming less and less enchanted with it. As for Spybot, I updated to v1.5.1 after having some problems with v1.4, but the problem persists. The panel on the left side doesn't have the gray background it's supposed to have and the icons there don't have any labels. No idea why. I see that TeMerc has been posting the update alerts lately, and in fine fashion.

    Sent PcWorld an email this morning about:

    Shouldn't that be XP (instead of Vista)? :)
