    This is very nice, but a bit misleading. When you visit your website, it
    is a free download (a 30 day trial). If you are going to list a 'free'
    tool.. how about letting people know it is a free download of a 30 day
    trial. IT is NOT a free tool. I don't think Russ wants this list to be a
    free advertising/misleading list. While your product may be good, you
    sure lost my business by not being honest with us.

    Subject: Free OverflowGuard For Windows Personal Edition Released

    A free personal edition of OverflowGuard for Windows NT4, 2000, XP, and
    2003
    has been released. The OverflowGuard Personal Edition
    protects Internet Explorer and all Active-X controls it uses from stack
    buffer overflow exploits. The protection is provided by making the
    stack
    non-executable. You can download this free tool from
    http://www.datasecuritysoftware.com .

    The OverflowGuard Personal Edition targets stack buffer overflows like
    the
    one announced August 20th, 2003 in the BR549.DLL Active-X control.
    The link to the Microsoft bug information is

    n/MS03-032.asp .

    This was done to help reduce the number of Out of Office messages posters
