Sorry, yes, it’s beta, but I downloaded via the regular download button on safer-networking.org (which took me to a mirror site.)
So watch out, one of safer-networking.org’s mirror site is downloading a beta (or was yeasterday.) :o :
One of the mirrors tried to download a different anti-spyware program when I clicked on a spybot link.
Mr Kolla seems to have chosen some poor mirror sites. ???
I downloaded the new version of Spy Bot S&D also. It as connie says does seem to scan faster,not causing me any problems as of yet.

Version 2.6 of Outpost Personal Firewall PRO Includes IE-BAR
On April 11, 2005 Agnitum released version 2.6 of Outpost Firewall Pro. The new version provides an alternative method for controlling the content of web pages directly from the browser, thanks to a new browser adjustment plug-in.
This plug-in allows users to manage the settings for ads and active content plug-ins from a special panel in Internet Explorer. The panel contains options with the settings for ads and active content plug-ins that are similar to those displayed in the Outpost Firewall interface. These options allow users of Internet Explorer to apply their security settings “on the fly,” directly from the browser window.
Outpost Firewall Pro 2.6 has also achieved improved performance and repaired stability issues submitted by users.

Been using it since 12th April, I don’t use IE so the toolbar element was of little use apart from that no reall problems with this upgrade.
OPERA 8 FINAL RELEASED can be downloaded from
(1) a² signature update - 1071 signatures added.
(2) Spyware Block List updated http://www.spywareguide.com/blockfile.php
(3) Ad-Aware definitions file SE1R40 20.04.2005 is out
I don’t get it, what’s the deal with Ad-Aware updates ? Version of definition file is SE1R39 on my computer, and when I click Check for updates, nothing happens, actually, it’s checking and then it says, no updated components available… and I’m sure there is new update available (SE1R40), so I have to go and download that definition file manually. Worst of all, it’s not the first time… they should do something with this problem…
Anyone have any clue why this happens ?
