I don't think this is an example of anything. It's very obvious that
there is something lurking under this half-arsed announcement. I think
either they were bought out or they are moving out of the hyper
compeditive host based area of the business. I guess we will find out
soon.

Dunno about that, but some people on the freeware list are reporting
good first impressions with sensiveguard:

It's LAN protection is a interesting feature.

Does look interesting, seems to have some nice features. Doing a bit of URL
chasing and DNS/Whois/Nameserver checking indicates it appears to be a Yahoo
product - also interesting.
