Turbo tax found that they sold 5 million copies of software last year, and 15 million returns were filed with it. They put that stuff on to prevent folks from loaning it out..and they've taken some heat for it as well.<<< I do not blame TurboTax for doing what they did... just like I did not blame Curious Labs for their protection system (There were too many other things they did wrong they could be nailed for anyway). TurboTax had and has a right to try and defend their property. Their product is useful, saves me a ton of time and they deserve to be paid for its use. I do not place their protection system in the same category as the ambush I got hit with by simply clicking on a link to download or investigate an offered Poser item in Freestuff. Fauve, yep, Orbit explorer or whatever it calls itself is another of those pieces of cyber-terrorism floating around. I may have to try Spyware Blaster. If it is as configurable as you say, it might prevent the type of problems I had with my current system and TurboTax/C-Dilla. I'm going to look into the program Trav mentioned also. Take care, be well, keep flying. casamerica
