6.0.2.1 Beta (Jul 1, 2006)
I am a current paid owner of AnyDVD and what I am wondering is why is this a Beta when he releases new version about every other week?
Is there something different aboutthis version that makes it Beta?

5.9.5.6 (Apr 13, 2006)
Hello
Great program with good support.
I have a suggestion though.
If it were possiable, I would like to see CloneCD &
AnyDVD combined. AS it is, you need AnyDVD for DVD and audio CD's and Clone CD for video CD's

5.7.2.1 (Jan 1, 2006)
Using it here with Roxio's Easy DVD Copy and it works great. I was using DVDDecrypter but had some sound issues.
One thing I see though is when I bring up Roxio, it says no compression needed but when I go to copy, it says the file is too big to fit on one DVD, do you want to compress.
Is this a bug?
4.2.3.912 (Dec 24, 2005)
Why is this version better then 2.15 again?
I guess I missed the reason why?
I use version 2.15 the last free version.
Thank You
4.5 Beta (Dec 20, 2005)
Hello
Have any of you actualy tried this on a rootkit?
I have. To name a few, hackdef free, atomic time,
sony's copy protection. Now I want the poaster that says you can get the same features in freeware to tell me what those programs are. I have tried almost them all.
The only reason I give a 4 is because of ease of use. I was affraid it might be complex for an untrained home user.

Here is a good read for those that think "gathering information" is ok.
oh dear, did I spell everything ok? I think what fruity loops was trying to say is, those that won't use a spell check before posting should not be listened to. I never use one and could care less if someone doesn't like my spelling but I sure would not judge the intelligence of any person as to how they "spell".
It is called researchware now days LOL

I would say many ISP's today are offerering free
AV's and Firewalls.
For instance, Charter offers F-secures firewall-AV
In the last few years ISP's have come along
way in the fight for their networks.
The word is getting out there more all the time..
About internet security.
One thing you may have left out is the fact
humans love free stuff so the biggest percentage
go for the free av, free AT, free firewalls.
They are better then nothing but not the best
way to go. I admire the programmers that do
offer their software as free or donation ware.
I don't think MS is going the wrong way on
their battle with antispyware but do not like their decision to make reformating more painful.
The new kid on the block is the rootkit.
the nasty, evil hidding rootkits LOL
Some say with programs like Process Guard, that you don't need an AV,AT or firewall.
I still use them all. I follow the layerd approach and have for many years.
Not many can just reformat their computer
at will either but there is nice software
like Deepfreeze that can be used by home users now.
Then there was the big deal with DELL
Yes they were installing spyware on
home computers till they got caught and were kept in check.
Of course they were not the only ones.
If home users can't build their own PC's
they must rely on companiies such as DELL
and so those companies better be trustable
or people like us will go after them
and put them on the right path.
I am sure most of you here frequent

MSN Privacy Statement
(last updated: January 2004)
MSN is committed to protecting your privacy. This MSN Privacy Statement applies to data collection and usage on MSN sites and services; it does not apply to other online or offline Microsoft sites, products or services. Please read the MSN Privacy Statement below and also any supplementary information at the end of this statement for additional details about particular MSN sites and services that you may use.
MSN is a general audience web site, intended for users of all ages. Personal information of all users is collected, used and disclosed as described in this Privacy Statement. This Statement contains a section with specific details regarding personal information collected from children. Click here to read more.
Other Microsoft services linked to from this Web site, .NET Passport, MapPoint, bCentral and WindowsMedia.com have their own privacy statements which can be viewed by clicking on the links.
Collection of your Personal Information
At some sites, MSN collects personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. MSN may also collect demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. Information collected by MSN may be combined with information obtained from other Microsoft services and other companies.
If you choose to sign up for a paid subscription service (such as MSN Internet Access or MSN Extra Storage), we will collect additional personal information, including your credit card number and billing address, in order to create a Microsoft billing account.
MSN uses .NET Passport to provide registration and sign-in services. If you create a .NET Passport at MSN, you are simultaneously registering with MSN and opening a .NET Passport account. All of the registration information you provide will be stored by MSN, and some or all of that information will also be stored by .NET Passport in your Passport profile. To learn more about the Passport service, the information stored in the Passport profile, and how Passport uses and helps protect your personal information, please read the .NET Passport Privacy Statement.
Some MSN services, such as MSN Chat and MSN Groups, request that you create a social nickname, which is the name you will be known by to others in those public places. You may select a different social nickname at any time. You can also choose to create an optional public profile, containing information about yourself - such as your hobbies and interests. Any information you choose to enter in your public profile will be visible to other users of MSN sites and services; and when you interact with other users (for example, sending an MSN Hotmail message to another MSN email account or interacting in an MSN Chat room), a link to your public profile may be displayed. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information through MSN Chats, MSN Groups, or other public online forums, this information may be collected and used by others. MSN cautions you against providing personal information to strangers online, which they may use for illegal or harmful purposes.
MSN keeps track of the pages our customers visit within MSN, in order to determine what MSN sites and services are the most popular.
MSN also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses.
Certain MSN services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use such services, both MSN and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.
Use of your Personal Information
MSN and its operational service partners collect and use your personal information to operate MSN and deliver the services you have requested. These services may include the display of customized content and advertising based upon the information MSN has collected. MSN does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
MSN also uses your personal information to inform you of other products or services available from Microsoft and its affiliates. MSN may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
MSN does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. MSN may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
MSN may access and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Microsoft or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Microsoft, including its MSN family of Web sites; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of MSN services or members of the public.
Personal information collected on this site may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. Microsoft abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
Control of your Personal Information
MSN offers its customers choices for the collection, use and sharing of personal information. You may go to the MSN Communications Preferences page to proactively make choices about the use and sharing of your personal information. You may choose not to receive marketing material from MSN or on behalf of external third party business partners. You may also stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from MSN by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. The instructions explain how to stop receiving such e-mails.
There are some MSN services, including MSN Internet Access and MSN Hotmail, that send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical service issues, product surveys, new feature announcements and news about MSN products and services. You will not be able to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered a part of the service you have chosen.
You may subscribe and unsubscribe to MSN Newsletters by going to newsletters.msn.com. In addition, each MSN newsletter you receive will have instructions on how to unsubscribe prominently mentioned in it.
You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information:
You can view or make changes to the information in your .NET Passport profile at http://memberservices.passport.net/.
If you have a billing account you can add to or update the information through the Account Update area located at https://billing.microsoft.com.
If you have created a public profile on MSN, you may also edit or delete information in your public profile by going to http://members.msn.com/edit.msnw.
Security of your Personal Information
MSN is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information
MSN offers a special MSN Kids area that is specifically designed for children at http://kids.msn.com/. MSN Kids has a special privacy statement that informs children and parents about the MSN Kids area, describes the additional privacy protections provided in this area, and provides children with tips on how to protect themselves online.
The rest of MSN is intended for users of all ages. Children may visit these general audience areas of MSN and provide personal information, which will be collected, used and disclosed as described is this Privacy Statement. Some, but not all, MSN sites require users to provide age information. For those users who visit such sites and identify themselves as under 13, MSN uses Kids Passport, a service of .NET Passport, to obtain consent from parents for the collection, use and sharing of their children's personal information as described in this Privacy Statement. If MSN changes this Privacy Statement in a way that expands the collection, use or disclosure of children's personal information to which a parent has previously consented, the parent will be notified and MSN will be required to obtain the parent's additional consent. To learn more about the Kids Passport service, please visit www.passport.net and read the .NET Passport Kids Privacy Statement.
Please note that if you grant consent for your child to use such general audience communication services as MSN Chat, MSN Groups, MSN Messenger, or MSN Hotmail, your child will be able to communicate with other users of all ages. Before providing consent, please be aware that such services will give your child the ability to disclose personal information (e.g. name, address, e-mail, phone numbers) on his or her own. We encourage you to talk with your children about communicating with strangers and disclosing personal information online. You and your child can visit MSN's Stay Safe Online site for additional information about using the Internet safely.
When an MSN service knows that a user is a child, it will not condition the child's participation in an activity, such as a game or a prize drawing, on the provision of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. Additionally, you have the right, subject to verification that you are the child's parent, to change or revoke the consent choices you have previously made for MSN services and to review or request the deletion of your child's personal information. You may send such requests, or any questions you have about MSN's practices with regard to personal information about your child, by clicking here to send e-mail or by sending postal mail to the address in the "Contact Information" section of this Statement.
Use of Cookies
MSN uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize MSN's pages, or register with MSN sites or services, a cookie helps MSN to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, preferred email address, and so on. When you return to MSN, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the MSN features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the MSN services or Web sites you visit.
Use of Web Beacons
MSN Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow MSN to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. MSN may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or MSN Newsletters in order to count how many messages have been opened and acted upon.
Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. MSN Web pages may also contain Web beacons placed there by third parties in order to compile aggregated statistics and to help determine the effectiveness of our joint promotional or advertising campaigns. MSN prohibits web beacons from being used to access your personal information.
Use of Third Party Ad Networks
The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on MSN Web pages are displayed by MSN.
In addition, MSN allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on MSN Web pages. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the ad network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. Microsoft does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad servers or ad networks.
MSN maintains relationships with a number of the third-party ad networks currently operating such as: Ad4Ever; AdCentric Online; Ad Dynamix; AdSolution; Avenue A; BlueStreak; BridgeTrack; DoubleClick; efluxa; Enliven; Flycast; i33; Mediaplex; PlanetActive; Pointroll; Profero; Qksrv; RealMedia; RedAgency; TangoZebra; TargetGraph; TrackStar; Travelworm; Unicast. Those ad networks that use persistent cookies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting. You may find more information at the Web site of either the individual ad network or the Network Advertising Initiative.
TRUSTe Certification
MSN is a member of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to build trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the use of fair information practices. Because MSN wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices and have its privacy practices reviewed for compliance by TRUSTe.
Enforcement of this Privacy Statement
If you have questions regarding this statement, you should first contact MSN via e-mail. If you do not receive acknowledgement of your inquiry or your inquiry has not been satisfactorily addressed, you should then contact TRUSTe at www.truste.org/users/users_watchdog.html. TRUSTe will serve as a liaison with MSN to resolve your concerns.
Changes to this Statement
MSN will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. When MSN posts changes to this Statement, you will see the word "updated" next to the Privacy Statement link on the front page of MSN. If there are material changes to this Statement or in how MSN will use your personal information, MSN will prominently post such changes prior to implementing the change. MSN encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Microsoft is protecting your information.

MSN Hotmail
Hotmail collects information during the registration process, including first and last name, country, region or state, zip or postal code, time zone, gender, birth date and occupation. You may update your registration information at any time from within your Hotmail account by clicking the "Options" button on the navigation bar, and then clicking on the "Personal" icon.
When you create a Hotmail account, you will also simultaneously create a .NET Passport, which you will use for signing in to your Hotmail account.

Hotmail may also send periodic member letters, from which you may not unsubscribe without closing your account, to announce important service changes, new features, technical issue updates and information about other products and services.
Hotmail is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." Hotmail will not sell, lease or rent its member lists to any third parties. While Microsoft continues to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using tools such as the Inbox Protector and being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive. For more information on how to best use Hotmail's tools, please contact abuse@hotmail.com.
Hotmail has a strict policy prohibiting the use of a Hotmail account to send spam. To read more about this policy, go to http://privacy.msn.com/Anti-spam/.

MSN Premium/ MSN Plus / MSN 9 Dial-Up
When you sign up for MSN Premium/ MSN Plus or MSN 9 Dial-Up, we request registration information including personal information such as name and address, as well as demographic information such as occupation. Once registered, MSN will recognize users on future visits. Through MSN registration, you will also create a .NET Passport for each user, which will be used for signing into the service. For more information about Passport and the Passport services, go to http://www.passport.net and read the .NET Passport Privacy Statement.
MSN will automatically check the version of MSN Premium/ MSN Plus or MSN 9 Dial-Up and components you are using (including your browser version) every time you sign into the service in order to optimize performance. MSN may also provide upgrades to such software that will be automatically installed on your computer.
MSN Parental Controls
MSN Premium/ MSN Plus and MSN 9 Dial-Up account managers can choose to set up MSN Parental Controls for the people who use that account. The account manager is the person who subscribes to MSN. Because it is typically a parent enabling this feature for a child, the terms "parent" and "child" will be used to describe this feature.
E-mail notification: When a parent configures Parental Controls for a child, the child will receive an e-mail message describing the service and notifying him or her that Parental Controls have been set for the account.
Online activity report: Parents can choose to enable online reporting for a child who has Parental Controls set for his or her account. If this feature is enabled, information about how a child uses the Internet will be stored temporarily on the child's computer. This information is periodically sent to the parent by e-mail from the child's account and is then deleted from the child's computer.
Contact lists: Parents may also choose to control the list of people that a child can correspond with using MSN Mail or MSN Messenger. The list of contacts specified for the child is stored on MSN servers so that the child will be protected whenever and wherever he or she uses MSN Mail or Messenger. The list of contacts can be edited by the parent or can be deleted by deleting the child's account.
Task requests: A child may request permission to complete a task that a parent has blocked. For example, the child can request access to a blocked Web site or for the ability to exchange e-mail messages with a new friend. MSN stores this automated request for a brief period, allowing the parent to review, allow, or deny the request from any computer using MSN Premium/ MSN Plus or MSN 9 Dial-Up.
MSN Customer Experience Improvement Program
The MSN Customer Experience Improvement Program is an optional service in which you can choose to participate. If you choose to participate, you allow Microsoft to collect anonymous information about how you use Microsoft software and services, as well as some information about your computer.
MSN performs this service to help us identify trends and usage patterns and improve Microsoft software and services. The Customer Experience Improvement Program can be turned on or off at any time in MSN Premium/ MSN Plus or MSN9 Dial-Up Software on the Privacy settings page.
This trend and usage information includes anonymous information about how you use the software. For example, this may include whether you clicked on a particular button or menu item, how many email messages you sent with pictures, or whether the dashboard is turned on or off.
Please note your decision to participate in the Customer Experience Improvement Program does not affect the collection of anonymous performance information about the MSN software and service that Microsoft collects as an essential part of providing you and all MSN customers a reliable, quality service. This performance information may include, for example, how many times you attempt to sign in or how long it takes on average to open the home page. All of this information is anonymous and does not include any personal information
Critical Performance Errors
You may occasionally see a message informing you of a critical performance error in MSN Premium/ MSN Plus or MSN 9 Dial-Up. This message will ask you to send data to MSN. If you agree, MSN Software will automatically collect and send the data needed to help MSN determine what caused the error.
Before you choose to send your data to MSN, you have the opportunity to review that data. If you choose to send the data, in some cases your personal information may also be sent to MSN. This personal information is deleted before Microsoft reviews the error data you send.
Import Wizard
MSN Premium/ MSN Plus and MSN 9 Dial-Up offers you the chance to import some information from your computer such as your Favorites from Internet Explorer, your e-mail messages from Outlook Express and your Address Book from Outlook Express, for use in MSN. This data is imported only at your request and for the sole purpose of giving you access to it from MSN.
"Roaming"
MSN Premium/ MSN Plus or MSN 9 Dial-Up give you access to some of your MSN settings and information even when you sign in to MSN on different computers ("roaming").
Address Book and Calendar: When you input calendar and address book data into MSN Premium/ MSN Plus or MSN Dial-Up, this information will be stored by the MSN Address Book and Calendar service to enable roaming and your ability to share your calendar data with other users. See below for more information on this service.
Favorites: MSN Plus/ MSN premium and MSN 9 Dial-Up collect and store your favorite Web page addresses (URLs) in your Favorites list. Your Favorites list is available to you anywhere you sign in to MSN account.
Sign-in picture: Your sign-in picture will show anywhere you sign in to your MSN account. If you communicate using MSN Messenger, people on your contact list who are also running MSN Premium/ MSN Plus or MSN 9 Dial-Up will be able to see your sign-in picture when you are online.
Parental Controls: MSN stores parental control settings so that they will be enforced anywhere a child signs in to MSN Premium; MSN Plus or MSN 9 Dial-Up, even if the child uses a different computer.
All of this information is stored on secure MSN servers. The sole purpose of storing the information on the server is to provide you with the convenience of having your settings and information available to you anywhere, even if you use multiple computers. This information is not used by MSN for any purpose other than to enable roaming.
Top
MSN Toolbar
Each time you use MSN Search, including the MSN Toolbar, cookies may be placed on your machine and MSN may collect your Internet IP address, the time and date of your search terms, and your browser configuration. MSN may use this information to customize your search results.
While you have MSN Toolbar installed, please note that new versions of the MSN Toolbar will automatically be installed on your computer. This keeps your Toolbar up-to-date and lets you take advantage of new features as soon as they are available.
Toolbar users will be given a choice to participate in CEIP, Microsoft's Customer Experience Improvement Program. If you participate, the MSN Toolbar may track the websites you visit as well as your actions while reviewing MSN Search results, all on an anonymous basis. Such actions may include which results are visited and how much time is spent on a particular search results page. None of this activity is traced back to you personally, even if you are signed into your Passport, and is used solely to improve the MSN Search experience for all MSN users."

jejejejej you guys are too funny:)
I am guessing most of you actualy keep a library of Virus,
worms, ttojans, worms and keyloggers?
if not, you should try it and compare the various programs out there. I know Norton, KAV and NOD32 v 2.0 TDS 3.0 are all good
Please don't forget the layered defence.
ask this question.
If you install a keylogger and you allow your outlook full acces to the net, will your programs tell you if an outgoing connection is being made?
I can tell you for a fact if you have Nortons splash screen set to kick on for any incomming or outgoing attemps, you will soon see a keylogger sending mail with your outlook without the outlook program even opening at all
No other Av does this.
SO , if you are going to reply to this post, please download a kwylogger, install it on your system and see if norton alerts you as to the outgoing connection.
