Thanks for the news. I subscribed to the spywareinfo newsletter, which
looks pretty good, and dropped by the forums (where I see your name a
lot) and found the information pretty good, up-to-date, and useful. It's
nice to have you bridging here to there.

You're welcome, I appreciate an MVP taking the time to acknowledge an FAO post
;)

You might also want to drop in on occasion, where you
will see my handle there too, a lot. Much late-breaking news on IE "malware" can
be found there.

If I might suggest these Forums, other than Spyware Info:

Lavasoft Support, the folks behind Ad-aware, http://www.lavasoftsupport.com
SpyBot Search & Destroy has a Forum under the Net-Integration banner,
http://www.net-integration.net/cgi-...=f640a2892d5f037c974accc6c444f6c5;act=SF;f=28
That may not be a permanent URL, if it does not default to the exact SpyBot
link, use this one: http://www.net-integration.net/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi

Tech Support Guy Forums
