Shows over and this object code just became a rolling ad that is free for hulu to provide. Sneaky little buggers.

There is a little program I stumbled across that (is free and functional, but you can pay for to provide more functionality) you can use to protect whatever processes you want from having unauthorized access to other processes.  This is a must have on any Windows based computer in my opinion which is operated by a user who wants this level of control:

There just simply are not enough consumer watchdog types of organization(s) in effect at this point of time to keep up with how fast technology is developing, which is allow access to private information without (in some cases), any kind of information or prompt or consent being requested from the particular user of that particular (web based) system.

It’s called ProcessGuard (aptly named).  Here is a cap of the highlights from the above link:

	Free vs. Full – Feature Comparison

What is ProcessGuard?
Stop spyware trojans now! ProcessGuard is a multi-award winning cutting-edge program that greatly increases the security of your computer by preventing processes from being able to attack each other. It is considered by experts to be a must-have program for all users of Windows, and is the only program available that can actually prevent the installation and infection of all known rootkit stealth trojans. 

Why do I need it?
ProcessGuard protects your system against such a wide variety of attacks, but one of the most important aspects of ProcessGuard is that it secures your other security layers. For example, ProcessGuard will stop your firewall and anti-virus programs from being attacked by trojans and viruses. Remember, without ProcessGuard even your security software is vulnerable. We recommend running a free rootkit remover and then installing ProcessGuard. Protect yourself BEFORE rootkits become too advanced for rootkit removal software to fight. 

Can I try it for free?
Yes! ProcessGuard is available in two versions – a free version, and an inexpensive paid version. The free version doesn’t have as many features and isn’t as strong as the paid version but it’s an extremely powerful program in its own right, allowing you to control application execution and protect programs from termination, modification and more, so even if you don’t use the full paid version you’d be mad not to take advantage of the free version!

I like this idea!   Check em out if you do to:

As far as I’m concerned if you are on the Internet and do anything other than just playing World of Warcraft (IE: ANY kind of web surfing where you are exchanging personal information).   This service is a must have!

Glasvegas – I think these are the parts (videos) of their only self titled album and no I haven’t spent a lot of time looking into it either, obviously.  AFAIK – it came out last year.
