    I'm still getting "Failed to create"' every now and then, but I'm almost certain it's another program causing it.

    The failure to totally remove the context menu after the systray icon is used remains, also. Pete

    Hi Larry. I downloaded what I thought would be 2.0.0.5 and it's registered as 2.0.0.6. Basically that's not a problem, however now the application icons are mostly missing (looks like someone blew them away with a shotgun) and when I size the columns wider to suit my viewing preferences, then click the refresh button, the columns return to thier original size. I'm running at 1280x1074 resolution. Just thought that you should know.
    (Just to verify, I uninstalled 2.0.0.6 and reinstalled 2.0.0.4 and the icons were 100% and the columns stayed the way I set them. Then I deinstalled 2.0.0.4 and reinstalled 2.0.0.6)

    Jim

    When using 2.0.0.6 double click any of the title bars (enabled?, File Name, etc.) in main grid and program will crash.

    running 2.0.0.6
    choose shutdown or close button top right
    bottom left corner of question box it asks if you want to see this message everytime or uncheck to change default
    if you uncheck box program will not ask you if your sure you want to shutdown anymore but there is also no way to change it back that I have found

    running 2.0.0.6
    choose check for updates
    information message appears
    if you click the close button (X) it still checks for updates instead of canceling

    Like I said before I usually do not use forums for reporting testing issues so I hope that the seperate posts are ok. If not I am sorry. Keep up the great work you are doing.

    Seems stable for me. The only thing I could find was some cosmetic issues that were discussed previously and it still ocassionally:

    running 2.0.0.6
    choose check for updates
    information message appears
    click ok
    now get back to main screen
    choose check for updates again
    information message appears
    click ok
    program acts like it is checking for updates but no data is exchanged between user pc and update servers

    I did, and when I try to update using Firefox as my browser, I get the same "Forbidden..." message. In IE it's HTTP 404.
    So if it's because of "our" security settings, I'm at a loss as to how to relax security just enough to download.

    I can get it using Firefox at the second location at Major Geeks.

    Hi Ronjor, what I meant was that I was able to download and install 2.0.0.17, but when you run it for the first time it want's to check for updates and that's where it fails. I posted the BHOD log snippet in this thread https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=233408#post233408
    Do you have any problems trying to update the lists?

    Seems we have two threads in the same subject! :D

    Since the site is down, it's impossible to download updates.

    We will have to wait and see if that site comes back online. If not, there may bigger problems.

    I received an e-mail from Larry Leonard today as follows
    "Due to overwhelming demand, our website is temporarily down. If you're
    having a problem with BHODemon unrelated to getting updates, please let us
    know exactly what!

    We hope to be back up and running in a few days.

    Also, note that Version 2.0.0.17, with many new features, is now available
    at PCWorld at:

    <http://pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,23611,00.asp>

    Thanks!

    "

    thanks Larry, good luck with getting the site back up
    Jim
