which file infected, all of them? (suspect that they were all uploaded
on the same day)

i wish Urban had gone ahead with something we discussed 2 years ago -
author upload protection.... this would stop 3rd parties uploading hacked
versions of software..which has now occurred 5 times int he past year..and
is the reason you have to go to the authors homepage to download the
latest version a LOT of times :-(

what about people who install these utils and dont read the news? They'll
be email-bombing haage-partner for years :-(
