Give Steve Gibson a bit more time, he is really good, have worked in the past with him on a lot of things, he should get more information and data for us soon. He will charge for the new OPTOUT, but I will be standing in line for it. He is working with quite a large group at present trying to get a good handle on not only the Aureate problem, but on all programs which call home. Check his web site about once or twice a week. For advance notice if he finds anything important, he will broadcast a wake up to you if you sign up for his notification program. It is still beta, but I get mail every two weeks or so. Jack
