"As new filter sets are made available by Novasoft, they are
automatically downloaded and installed on your computer." WTF? I don't
want some American company censor my mail. And BTW: "The automatic
online update feature is only available to registered users."

Brett, this is stupid. Give the fact that in 99% of all cases (the
missing percent comprising Mac and Unix users) staff==sheep, this thing
is every admin's nightmare. Not to mention the fact that it requires
opening a hole in your firewall (ftp?) to an unknown site. No way.

I don't care if it's free. It's closed source censorware.

It's stupid. Trying to solve server problems on the desktop of a
lifeform with the technical abilities of an amoeba is futile.
