This thread prompted me to update my free version. First thing I noticed was a popup warning me that I should be running in a limited user account rather than an administrator account. Good advice, actually. Fortunately there's a "Do Not Show This Message Again" that can be checked. :-) -- --- Everybody has a right to my opinion. ---

Most malware can't install itself in a limited user account. Some people create a limited user account and use it for safety's sake. I only have one account (administrator) and prefer to keep it that way, even though it is not as safe. It's one of those "do as I say, not as I do" type of things. :-) -- --- Everybody has a right to my opinion. ---
