$699for what essentially is a research paper???

There's a link to upgrade for $50.

They also made it known that the 3D effects would be in the next version. I was tracking this very closely, as it was affecting my decision on if/when to take the plunge and buy a Mac. I thought that they made it pretty clear.

Interesting that Wisconsin's neighbor, Minnesota, is the home state of Digital River, one of the largest eTailers of digital download software, which also owns Regnow and Regsoft

Have you tried Pest Patrol. It has never failed me when I want to remove spyware crap for my father, or other non-techies who ask me for help. Tweaking The winsock registry keys might work for you or me, but not for them, and they are always asking for help.

So many IE web users have some sort of spyware/parasite installed (about 10%, based on my web logs) that I finally put up a Spyware Detection and Removal page on an unrelated site, just so I'd have something to refer people to!

If you are serious about privacy, then downloading and installing one of the commercial products (I like Aluria's Spyware Eliminator or the BPS Spyware and Adware Remover the best) is actually worth it. I didn't believe that until I happened to get a free copy of a couple of the commercial versions and found all the features I was missing in the freeware I was using, like a good list of domains and IPs that have been found to have been used by parasites/spyware ready for one-button access denial!

If you just want a "quick" fix that isn't quite as comprehensive (but covers the basics), then hit the Spyware Detection and Removal page above and follow some of the "free scanner" links, or go to one of the commercial sites listed and get their "free" version. I've also tried AdAware, but like most of the other free versions, it didn't seem to pick up as much stuff as my the commercial version of the Aluria software.

Of course, if you aren't running MS Windows, you can pretty much disregard all of the above advice.

The Spyware VS. Privacyware battle continues. I wonder if Pest Patrol will be able to tip us off that this crap is running, or even better, take it off our systems. I guess thespyware VS privacyware battle will continue to rage until both seem pointless.

This is the latest shot in the spyware VS. privacyware war. I hope my favorite privacyware, Pest Patrol, can catch this one.

Maybe they could add this feature to Pest Patrol, My favorite anti hacker and spyware tool.

he was arrested for software sold outside the US

Regnow.com, the company that he used to sell registration keys for his software, lists a Washington address on their website
