Spyware Doctor 5.5.0.178
Spyware Doctor provides three-way spyware protection for your PC through real-time threat blocking, advanced system scanning and immunization against known browser infections. Anti-virus software and firewalls do not fully protect your system against the majority of spyware and privacy threats.
When you consider the amount of valuable and confidential personal information stored on your PC, including credit card and banking details, private e-mails and documents, shopping and browsing habits, the risks of having software intruders snooping on your computer activity are obvious.
New features include a smaller and faster footprint than previous editions, meaning it will start more quickly and check for spyware in the background, without affecting your work. More>>

Spinning the Supp
The request spread additional funding across seven major departments of the federal government. Such items were not only contained in the White House request for this year's supplemental but have been part of nearly every supplemental the president has signed since the beginning of the Iraq war. One quarter of the money in last year's $94 billion “Iraq" supplemental was directed at a variety of domestic programs. But equally misleading is the implication that the funds added by Congress were largely “pork barrel projects" and that these items were added for the purpose of buying votes. Of the $21 billion that the House of Representatives added to the president's original request, $3 billion was subsequently requested by the administration, leaving a difference of $18 billion between what the president requested and what the House provided. What is remarkable is that so little attention has been directed at why the president refused to request funds for the large majority of these items and why he and his allies in Congress continue to oppose their inclusion in the supplemental. Among these items is $3.4 billion for upgrading medical care for returning Iraq war veterans. More>>
