HarryT, I look forward to the revised version. Your work obviously is appreciated in these forums.

On the security front, the zip file I downloaded from mousecatcher raised no issues with Microsoft Security Essentials. I submitted the file to VirusTotal (43 engines including Kaspersky) and Jotti (20 engines including Kaspersky) and got no detections. I also had no issue with MSE or Firefox blocking the mousecatcher web site.

Mediafire is a well-known and much-used file hosting site. It's behavior may be annoying, but I have never found the site itself to be unsafe. Of course, you have to be careful about the files you download from Mediafire or any file hosting site. I did not get pop-ups or pop-unders from Mediafire, perhaps due to my browser settings and the fact that I use the AdBlock extension for Firefox.
