Happy to help :)

It also saves me even though right now I'm still using the paid version. The changes will come in handy when the Pro version
trial ends and I go pack to the free version.

Hi guys, some bad news. :(

Evolving Microsoft's Advance Notification Service in 2015
http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2015/01/08/evolving-advance-notification-service-ans-in-2015.aspx

We are making changes to how we distribute ANS to customers. Moving forward, we will provide ANS information directly to Premier customers and current organizations involved in our security programs, and will no longer make this information broadly available through a blog post and web page.

This isn't a security warning or notice as such: 

Cybercrime Stories: Sandra
http://us.norton.com/cybercrime-stories-sandra/article

But it is a strong word of caution on how what we do and click on, and where we go, whilst on the Internet, may have disastrous consequences in our personal lives.  Know your enemy and how they operate.
