   I haver noticed that. In fact  slipped up and got the google browser   
   installed twice on my.   
   I use CNET mostly for the Reviwes/Informatuion and the User Reviews of   
   a program. Computer geeks is my first source for programs with File Hypo   
   a second choice.   
      
   I recently dumped Zone alarm on one of my Machines for the Fireware   
   becasue of the constant Nag Screens. I am trying Comodo for   
   thye Firewall. My Most Favored AVAST also now is into Nag screens :-(   
   but it is so highly rates amonget the "Free" Anti Virus programs that I   
   have tolerated them so far.
