Subject: What's the status of your software?

On this page:

http://wordweb.info/free/

you say the following:

WordWeb 3.01 for Windows 95/98/2000/NT/Me/XP
No SpyWare. No AdWare. No viruses. Works offline.
Free for personal non-commerical use.

Yet when I run the setup download, I get this:
_________________________________________

I will write back to them thanking them for their reply and
apologizing for my rudeness. Guess it is worth the download!
 
Some advice you might find helpful Johnny... learn how to read, save
yourself some embarrasment.

Not true. It said 'shareware', and that started all our concerns.
Happy to see it corrected now.
