Ah... now... um... didn't I hear / read / dream somewhere that Webshots is spyware? Could be wrong, but I'm sure there's 'something of the night' about them. :-\

Thats news to me Simon ???
Anyway as I have got SpywareBlaster,SpywareGuard, SpyBot and Empty Temp that zaps all cookies on my PC. Plus ZoneAlarm blocks Webshots from connecting to the internet, so I doubt there is much spying it could do.
Tell you what alse I have uninstalled, Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing, leaving only the Internet Protocol [TCP/IP] connection. And even so I have also disabled "NetMeeting Remote" and "Remote Registry Manipulation" under Settings>Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Services.
I get this paranoia from ChorleyDave you know :-X ;)

ZoneAlarm blocks Webshots from connecting to the internet...
Well, as I said, I only thought I'd heard something, but if it was allowed to connect to the internet, for what reason would that be, I wonder? Anyway, it would have a job getting through your defences, Tony. Have you ever considered a career in immigration? ;D ;D

:lol:
Oh, I think you miss read me regards Webshots diened connetion rights. It never has, I was just saying if it ever did, Zonealarm would block it.
When you install Webshots Desktop and Screensaver program, it naturally trys to load it's self in the start sequence, but I always use this niffty little program. http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml (http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml) indeed I run it all the time. I allso use it's sister program "StartUp Control"
