I downloaded and unzipped the shark 1.1 source distribution and have yet to try it out, but last night Microsoft AntiSpyware reported two files within the distribution which it flagged as spyware: 1. shark-1.1\installation\windows\install\plugins\system.dll CoolWebSearch.CameUp (Browser Modifier) Threat Level: Severe "CoolWebSearch.CameUp is an Internet Explorer toolbar. If you browse the Web when the toolbar is enabled, certain URLs can trigger the display of pop-up ads." 2. shark-1.1\installation\windows\install\plugins\dialer.dll AntivirusGold (Potentially Unwanted Software) Threat Level: High After checking around, it appears that it falsely labels various NSIS installer files as being spyware... likely because some spyware used it to install. You can find more details at: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=209232 (Scroll near the bottom to find the recent alerts.) Just thought I'd give a heads-up. Cheers, Blake
