[ale] Ale Digest, Vol 39, Issue 28

it isn't free to get the full version, 
but it costs 24.95 and is well worth it.

you can try it as the free version. I 
bought it and run it resident along side 
of Microsoft Security Essentials.

It suplements the free AV and doesn't 
fight with it. This combo has kept me 
virus and spyware free so far on my 
windows 7 Ultimate X64 gaming system.
