BTW, some main URLs

I don't know of any sites that might try to create indexes by subject, but
maybe others might. Or maybe one has to rely on keyword type searches.

There is a book by Lao-Tzu (Lao-Tse) called Tao-te-Ching which is even
more translated to other languages than the Bible.
Often called "The most influential book in the history of mankind."
You can find hundreds of different translations from chinese into english

I feel honour bound to add a follow up to my own post, in case I have
inadvertently impugned the innocent. This is an extract from a report on a
scan by the new Microsoft Antispyware Scanner:

CLISIDs associated with that spyware:

{4B2F5308-2CB0-40E2-8030-59936ED5D22C} X BHO Hyperbar.dll StartNow/HyperBar
I'm no expert on these things, but I can see no match there. Perhaps
someone else can? Perhaps KHaled, or the author of the Qur'an viewer would
care to comment?
So, I reserve judgment on this for now, but I'm rather inclined to suspect
a false alert by the Microsoft application, as I already have proof of
other false alerts it has raised on this system.
For what it's worth, and on the basis of what I've found, I rather think
I'll be ditching the Microsoft Antispyware Scanner sooner rather than
later.

Roy

I downloaded and installed the software before recommending
it, and I had no alerts. I am running S&D and AntiVir. As
to MS Spyware software, I have that too, and it did not
report anything.
Talking of MS Spyware, as I type, it is trying to access
locations such as GIANT, Verisign, and ofcourse MS sites.. I
wonder why ?? Will hold off dumping it for a while.

It's interesting that Microsoft's software didn't find the
hyperbar.dll which actually does the work. Only two conclusions
possible: either Antispyware is prone to false alarms, or it's so
crappily coded that it doesn't remove essential components of spyware
it claims to find.
Very sensible.
I downloaded it but decided not to install it. Microsoft's release
software is full of bugs, so one needs to be very careful of stuff
they officially call a beta.
J
Joe Bloggs
Why? It's proven to be prone to false alarms and it now appears to be
trying to send God knows what data from your machine to all and
sundry. With excellent programs like Ad-Aware and Spybot around, I
can't imagine why anyone would want to risk Microsoft's software, and
beta software at that. I'm kicking myself for simply downloading it.
S
Slarty
It beats me why it picked on those innocent, as far as I can tell, CLSID
entries to take a dislike to, it just did. Evidently it liked yours!
Microsoft just bought Giant, so that doesn't seem too untoward. Who knows
why it calls back. It might be checking for updates, interested in how many
copies of the application are still live, or almost anything I suppose. You
could try running a packet sniffer, if you can interpret the results,
decide to trust the supplier, or dump it. I went for the last option,
mainly because there were so many false positives it was a positive
hindrance to getting anything done on this machine. I've wasted too much
time on it!

Do what I did. Download Microsoft Antispyware. Don't allow it to
connect to the Internet during the install process. Open it up and
turn off *everything* -- all the features that are on by default,
many of which have to do with active connections to the Internet
behind your back, such as the auto-update. Then go into "msconfig"
and turn off the file that causes MS Antispyware to start up each
time you boot your computer. The result will be a very
well-behaved anti-spyware software that does what it's told, when
you tell it to.
