A couple of interesting things seen in newsletters today. First there’s today’s Spyware Info Weekly which talks about accusations of reverse engineering and fraud among different anti-spyware apps. Interesting stuff, I think we’d all do well to make sure we aren’t using a fake spyware killer.

I did notice that their site went “Socket Error” this afternoon instead of the “Check back in 60 minutes”, not sure what that means. Anyway, unfortunately, it seems like some of the…

    I have a question, when you’re switching from using Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2000, why does Outlook refuse to import message rules that are incompatible with older versions of Outlook?
