1. Alert About Network Tools
In the January 9th issue of the Scout Report, a software package called
"Free History Cleaner" was reviewed. It has since been brought to our
attention that this package may install additional unwanted software
intended to display advertisements (AKA "adware") along with the intended
functionality, and that the "uninstall" feature of the software may not
remove all of this unwanted software. The Internet Scout Project would like
to apologize to our readers for any inconvenience caused by this review.
While Scout editors strive to research and report on the very best the web
has to offer, sometimes problems like this can slip through; thus, caution
and regular backups are always in order when installing any new software
package. Information on removing Free History Cleaner (and the associated
adware) can be found at:

to the readers who brought this issue to our attention.
