I'm sorting out someone's PC and have found 41 seperate infections, much of which is probably due to him inviting SpyAxe onto his system.  I can't see this new version being any more desireable.

I've never heard of it.  However, that site that the link takes us to is useful because it has an article that allows you to link directly to the update for the latest Micoshaft crisis, thus avoiding having to go by the sick "Windows Updates" route.

I have dowloaded the update.  However, as I already have the unofficial patch, it will be staying in my "Temp Stuff" folder for a few days while we see if it actually works or whether it needs a patch to fix the original patch, as so often happens with Microshaft patches.
