Free ISP software. (Score 2)

There's been a few free ad-based ISP's started here in Australia, one in particular called (*shock*) free.net.au which uses a program to basically control your DUN in Windows. This window when minimised automatically restores itself when a new advert appears, forcing focus onto itself (ie, it switches you out of fullscreen programs). I suppose that is the intention of it, to show you adverts the entire time while you are connected no-matter what you are doing. However, there is a simple app floating around (written in VB no less!) that allows the window to be forcefully hidden, never to appear again, a stroke of insecurity on behalf of the ISP and another point on the board for the obscurity != security beleivers.
