Their ethics are a short summary of police ordinances: for them the
most important thing is to be a useful member of the state, and to air
their opinions in the club of an evening; they have never felt the
homesickness for something unknown and far away, nor the depths which
consists in being nothing at all. ___________Soren Kierkegaard

Dick: Thanks for your comment! I make most of my discoveries by letting
WinHTTrack download all the linked pages from promising sites, setting it to
download to two levels. It gets a lot of crud, but occasionally a gem turns
up. But you won't tell anyone my secret, will you?

For a minimal fee, you can subscribe to the paid version...it's well worth
the $10 or so a year, and one of the few I found worthy of paying for

I second that - I've been a subscriber for three years now - worth every
penny. Gizmo does an excellent job with this newsletter.

I was disappointed with it as well...Ian can't be right all the time
though...<LOL>

Nice page and I am sure we might all quibble with some of his picks.

However I have to disagree very strongly with his pick of Ewido for
Best Free Trojan Scanner/Trojan Remover (number 6).

I tried Ewido and was hugely disappointed.

Unless, of course, you happen to have a few that you don't want to list
<grin>. You should see my robots.txt (and my .htaccess for that matter).

IMO, but I admit that this is personal, a good web site has a clear
menu structure from which the desired page can be reached with a
minimum of clicks, a site map is unnecessary in such a web site!

Dick

Hi Frank,

Thanks for sharing the trick! No, of course I won't tell <LOL>

Thanks again!

Not every website has this philosophy, so it may be a useful tool after
all.

As others have said, thanks for the link Frank.

I was completely blown away by the little piece of programming called
TiddlyWiki (http://www.tiddlywiki.com) also mentioned in the latest issue.
It reminds me a great deal of KeyNote in a way. Check it out if you haven't
already.

Nice page and I am sure we might all quibble with some of his picks.

However I have to disagree very strongly with his pick of Ewido for
Best Free Trojan Scanner/Trojan Remover (number 6).

I tried Ewido and was hugely disappointed.

I've been trying out Ewido for the last week or two.
So far, I can't say anything about it has caused be to be hugely disappointed. ;-)
Did you discover another freeware trojan scanner/remover that you liked better?

As I recall, Ewido constantly phones home to its makers and (forgive
my memory) but I recall it is far from being a pure trojan/freeware
remover.

Hi Mel,

I guess folks will have to start looking for your hidden pages. <G>

Not every website has this philosophy, so it may be a useful tool
after all.

You are absolutely right in that!

Were you using version 3.0?
I haven't seen any evidence of it phoning home.
The only Internet access I allow is for the updates, which are daily and very small.
AFAIK, a²(a-squared) and Ewido are the only 2 freeware Trojan Scanners.
According to Tech Support Alert, a² is not quite as effective as Ewido.
