19. I tried to dl it, but after giving an email and

initials for a name, it took me to a screen to dl but it didn't work. Found a link w/in their forum and did dl.

Also, in the forum saw a query from someone saying they had used an email just for the program, and got 3rd party email there, so Secunia apparently was selling/renting/giving their email. Dang! Too late, I had already given.

Seems v2 will not be supported after 3/31, and there are complaints about the inferior usability, dumbing-down and control of v3. I used this pgm a few years ago and your post made me revisit. Might try again
