    I just wanted to note that my "heads up" was not an attempt to discredit the software. Rather to notify those who use the software of a security risk.

    Hi Risus
    You make a very good point. However the 2002 version is still readily available in the UK being sold at various computer fairs that are held across the UK every month. And according to Norton are still valid at this present time :)

    In addition, not everyone has upgraded to the latest version. How many people are using win98 still? etc etc.
