I am personally saddened by the demise of an anti-malware site such as CastleCops® (http://www.castlecops.com/).

In particular I will miss CastleCops' CLSID BHO and Toolbar listing (CastleCops - CLSID BHOList ToolbarList (http://www.castlecops.com/CLSID.html)) which now points to the same URL as all other CastleCops (http://www.castlecops.com/) references.

I sincerely hope that someone was perceptive enough to have preserved the database for the CastleCops - CLSID BHOList ToolbarList (http://www.castlecops.com/CLSID.html) listing and is resourceful enough to have that listing reestablish in a database on another anti-malware site.

The demise of CCSP was not unexpected, many former volunteers can be found at http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/

I only just found out about this now. It stinks, because these guys strongly recommended Spybot S&D and gave tips on how to use it in conjunction with other security programs for a good effect. Thanks for providing a guideline on how to find part of the surviving userbase.
