Spybot says it reports back to double-click. I would think of buying it if it was not a subscription.
I use The Weather Channel's free Desktop weather, but it hogs alot of RAM even when in the sys tray. I tried another one, forget the name no good. Weatherbug does go down to 400 some k but not much, maybe I have the update set to frequent?? But I am going to dump it because of the spyware.
