Hi Earl

I read about the upcoming retail only version of Opt Out in the Shields
Up newsgroup at <http://www.grc.com>. The news server is <news.grc.com>.

I suspect that most of the discussion was on the Opt Out newsgroup
from the same server.

The future Opt Out will detect many more advertising related Spyware
programs than just the Aureate stuff.

Steve Gibson could of course have changed his mind about this
charging for this. I haven't been keeping up on the newsgroup
for the past week due to heavy work load.

Regards,
Bill
