Oooooh, thanks for the heads up, Jasper...they certainly seem to have gone to town and swept the cupboard bare...there is an eclectic mix of consumer & enterprise software in that list.

They are available already so go and update and if your system is 64bit download and install both the 32bit & 64bit and be on the look out for possible Unwanted Add-ons PUA's!  https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie-KB/How-to-Remove-Potentially-Unwanted-Applications/ta-p/40744

Daniel I did not get this when I installed the 64bit and 32bit from your link that you provided. No PUAs?

Neither did I, I found this article that shows it and I would assume it only shows when it self updates as 90% of the users do out there and that is the time when you see the PUA's so they are very tricky and that's what makes me mad about PUA's. If I want the Amazon whatever I would go find it and install right?
