Thank you for your continued crash dump submissions in the beta

Although it keeps me busy, thank you for your continued crash dump submissions in the beta. This helps me to track down bugs, so v4.1 is hopefully the ultimate build of Process Lasso. Well, until v5 that is. Yes, the next planned version is that of v5. After all, I'm nearly done with the v4.1 code, so the version 5 improvements (of which there are many) are next to start hacking away at ;).

Oh, and I am issuing a new beta soon as I can, trust me on that. I am more eager than any user, I would love to issue it right now if it were ready. It almost is.

Sorry, fixing startup config issues in Vista+

I apologize for not releasing the new beta. Some users had emailed me, making me aware (or more aware perhaps) of certain bugs yet to be fixed, so I started work on them, and am now 'in the middle' of progress still. Don't worry, it will come very soon at this point. If I have to, I'll throw an intermediate build out there, but I'm preferring to wait until I get this one perfect.

Thanks for your patience.

W2K Users: Latest beta has problems, am fixing

During QA of the latest BETA I discovered I broke W2K compatibility again, in that it would crash in W2K. I have fixed this up for the next build. Don't worry, I always make sure W2K works before release ;). I won't forget about you, even if the rest of the world may seem to at times ;o.

New beta coming, next 12 hours or so

I'm glad to say I finally have a new beta coming, within 12 hours or so. I *may* also issue a new final build, but that is something I have not yet decided. v4.1 is so close it seems like a mute point.

Code review and bug tracking continues

This is the tedious part of pre-release work ;o. I will release a new beta though, as soon as I possibly can. Although I've got new problems, I am just going to ignore them, despite their impact on business. It is all I can do. I know I run one of the cleanest and most ethical companies on the net, and have for over a decade. My users know that. The total story is quite long, but a 4th oopsie by SiteAdvisor on ProLasso.com has hurt sales because that is the domain I was using to send final purchasers to in previous builds (now changed, silently, so hundreds of thousands of copies still exist with that URL).

Meanwhile, as SA tries to fix its own internal algorithm problems, the reviewer that got banned from SiteAdvisor is using this as cannon fodder against both me and McAfee (he blames his ban on me for daring to point out that he 'hit' me with a defamatory remark amongst his 2 million site reviews.. but that had NOTHING to do with his ban that happened some 30 days later). He later recanted, twice -- because the first recant was so offensive. After his second recant, I had no issue with him. I just don't like being defamed, or having my integrity falsely attacked. I'm sure anyone can understand that.

Anyway, forget all that, working only here. I have no control, clearly ;). It doesn't matter how ethical I operate, a single false positive from years ago could be, and may be, the cause of these strange SA problems. We don't know because they make no accusations (same as prior 3 incidents they corrected), and their TrustedSource server is on the fritz. I have no more energy to fight.

Back in the saddle, 'with it' again

If the script kiddies want to continue their attack, let them. We, as a community, will get it cleaned up sometime afterwards. Back to work ;).

At present most recent anonymous attacks have been here:

THANKS to all those users who have kept me GREEN/SAFE thus far, in spite of this ;).

This shows just how much love I have back from my users. I really do appreciate it, and will try to pay it back to ya in every way possible.

Ok, new beta ;). Lets get this on out. There a bunch more crash reports I need to go through, so bare with me. I wanted to get some bugs worked out of this one.

Attack continues on ProcessLasso.com

Despite a sterling reputation for 10 years, I've been ANONYMOUSLY attacked here: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/processlasso.com ... The only defense I have is my users. So, please take the time to rate my site whatever you believe I deserve. I am partly being blamed for the banning of a reviewer (bot with 2+ million reviews) at McAfee SiteAdvisor who had made highly defamatory remarks about my site by mistake (generic text). He then recanted, but his first recant was more offensive than the accusation even (as if he and his lists were infallible). So, he recanted a second time. I didn't mention him again, but SiteAdvisor later removed his account and now I'm being blamed. As soon as his account was banned, this attack happened. Coincidence I'm sure.

I had MyWOT fix the initial attack, which occurred right as this ever-so-ethical, self-appointed guardian reviewer was banned. However, then his friend stepped in and complicated matters by bringing up stuff he knew to be long resolved at SiteAdvisor (they dug up my butt for a long time before correcting their false positive). So, MyWOT then UNFIXED the problem, and now I'm left only with my users to defend me.

These rating systems have all the power in the world, and this is the most important domain (obviously). It is my only profit generating product! (small profit, mind you, lol).

I am glad to say that users have come to my defense and properly rated me GREEN/SAFE in every category at EVERY rating service. Thank you ;). It is good to see a community come together, and nice to know that I am appreciated ;)
