pretty sad ......but it was a pretty neat idea using the word 'bye' in many different languages as you attempt in disbleief changing categories in hope of seeing something other than that message

I am personally saddened by the demise of an anti-malware site such as CastleCops®.

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

I sincerely hope that someone was perceptive enough to have preserved the database for the CastleCops - CLSID BHOList ToolbarList 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.
