     Our NEW "OptOut" Internet Privacy Web Site is Online!

The Evolution of OptOut ...

  The Internet Privacy Problem is MUCH bigger than I ever knew!
  Thanks to your feedback about your experiences with OptOut,
  and your questions about tons of other "spyware", our OptOut
  effort has expanded from one web page and a piece of freeware
  ... to an entire Internet Privacy web site and a forthcoming,
  much stronger and more capable, commercial product.

  For the whole story, please take a look at the new OptOut site:

A "While They Last" Offer Which May Interest You ...

  We will soon switch to full Internet-based customer management.
  (I am creating that system right now.)  Since the new system
  will not have ANY provision for shipping or taxing -- but will
  have MANY very cool features for owners of our software -- we
  need to sell off the last of our "Passion For Technology" book
  sets -- a collection of 218 of my InfoWorld TechTalk columns.
  For the whole story, with photos and four sample columns, see
  the special "Passion For Technology" offer page:

ZoneAlarm Update:

  My favorite firewall keeps getting better. The new "MailSafe"
  feature was just added to prevent problems with executable
  eMail attachments -- like the recent "I LOVE YOU" virus. You
  may download a free update to add this protection right now.

My Current Internet Security/Privacy Project:

  In order to provide beyond state-of-the-art customer support
  and management, I am currently creating a new web-based system
  from scratch. Once that is online, I will begin creating the
  new, super-powerful, complete re-write of OptOut.
