Another day, another "thanks but no thanks" letter. They might well of started their letter "thanks for wasting your time applying for this job". I really can't believe it.

Yet another security flaw in Internet Explorer has been discovered. This one takes advantage of a similar flaw that Microsoft patched last week. Unfortunately, that patch only addressed part of the wider problem that is the inherently insecure ActiveX. Want my advice? Download Mozilla Firefox.
Iolo's System Mechanic Pro has, in my opinion, unseated Norton SystemWorks as the king of PC problem-solving utilities. Basically, as this review says, it's twice the product for half the price.
