This is an F.Y.I. for anyone who might be interested...

I just got off the phone w/ SS (Spysweeper ) tech support.

During the course of troubleshooting a problem, the tech had me do the following (this easter egg has been there since v 4.5):

Open SS (v 4.5 or better)
Hold down the [ctrl] & [alt] keys and click the center of the SS logo
A panel of buttons will appear that are otherwise hidden

(I'd tell you what the buttons are but I did this while remoting into a client's computer that has SS installed. I don't have SS and I don't have access to the computer that does right now. Can get the info. when I remote back in tonite if anyone is interested...)

    Interesting. Wish I had seen this about 30 minutes ago. I was surrounded by a dozen computers with SS on it.

    Sorry Thrax. Just got off the horn. Posted this right after.

    I think you might find it handy. I'll post the buttons tonite when I get back in. (or you can if you get to a computer w/ SS b4 me.. :smiles: )

    There's one button for turning off SS protection which allows you to kill the spysweeper.exe process. (Far right bottom row (there are two rows of buttons) - don't remember what its called though. )
