Useful freeware. Regards. Franco

Thanks Franco. A nifty little programme, which I'm sure, will come in very handy. It seems legit so I've installed it, although it does worry me installing freeware / shareware as sometimes the developers use these freebies as a vehicle for piggybacking their spyware or scumware onto your computer system.

That's true Simon.

You know there are spyware-adware-popup removers for free too

You also know there are many MS patches and security alerts and bugs and so on and the theoretical possibility of hacker attack and remote control of your PC

Personally I use an anti virus (registered SW), a personal firewall (registrered SW)and a couple of spyware removers (freeware) and I feel safe while surfing the web.

If I remember well, the Romans used to say "Cui custodiat custodiem ipsos ?", meaning "who controls the controllers?"

and

Te aurdire no possum. Musa sapienum fixa est in aura.

means "I can't hear you. I have a banana in my ear."

Always a good one during audits!!
