I don't know what to say other than it is an excellent program and does not contain any malware or advertising. There is a DXLabs Yahoo group that the author (Dave, AA6YQ) monitors all the time. He won the ARRL Technical Excellence award last year. He is the same person who has taken over updating the MTTY program as well.

Now I keep up with all the latest MS updates, so I was hesitant to let DXLabs update anything. The last time I let some app "update" my files it took me two weeks to fix my computer.
