Mele20 Premium join:2001-06-05 Hilo, HI kudos:4	This was not just an ORDINARY update of the program. Most of us never or seldom look at Vendors. I checked here in the main forum before I posted but it didn't even occur to me to look in Vendors as that is just for ordinary updates which I can get without looking there. I think hayc59 should have posted it in the main forum. -- When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson

Whether hayc59 should have posted here first was his call, imo it's where it belongs as an app update. Would could quarrel until the cows come home on these sorts of issues. The way I see it, if an issue arises with a program, a Mod ostensibly would move it here for discussion.

(Bolding is mine) quote: Security Product Vendors New products, new releases, revisions, upgrades Agreed. Easy to find too with all in one place Cudni This was the first time I had heard of this product! For me, it was NOT something that belonged in "revisions and upgrades" since it was a brand new product as far as I am concerned. I don't recall ever reading about this product in this forum. I almost never visit Security Vendors. A new product should posted here. I don't need a forum to tell me that I should update security products that I have downloaded and use. I can do that just fine on my own. What I do need is a forum that presents new products to users and has a good discussion about them. This forum used to do that and it is not clear currently where a new product should be posted. This is a good example of what has been missing from this forum for some time now. Good discussions about new products! And good discussions when a product is revised to do something special like in this case. -- When governments fear people, there is liberty.

Grail Knight Qui audet adipiscitur Premium join:2003-05-31 Valhalla kudos:6 Reviews: ·Time Warner Cable 1 edit	reply to Mele20 If you disagree with how the forum topics are set up I am sure you know how to post a new thread here. »Forum Feature Requests quote: I don't need a forum to tell me that I should update security products that I have downloaded and use. I can do that just fine on my own. Thats nice. Now can we get back to the potential thousands of others that do check forums for updates because a smart user will look at updates and feedback (if posted) because more then a few members/users know updates and revisions can cause problems.

Mele20 Premium join:2001-06-05 Hilo, HI kudos:4	reply to siljaline No, I had not heard about it until I read an article about this IE vulnerability and the writer spoke about this Stinger and the release on the 20th for this IE vulnerability. The article was in Computer World maybe, Cnet, I don't recall exactly as I read several articles about the IE vulnerability. Of course, it is possible I heard about Stinger a long time ago and forgot. That happens more than I would like as I age. -- When governments fear people, there is liberty.
