It says "Service Unavailable". The PAD file works as I have added it to over 10 software websites. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Ignoring this will likely get your suggestion deleted. (Santa only has time to read the one topic) </li> <li>No posting personal email addresses or contact details. We know where you live. ;) </li> <li>No warez related posts or requesting/supplying activation/registration keys for giveaways. </li> <li>If the post is about activating a giveaway - mention which program you are activating. XP or Vista? Any error messages you get. (Check "General" rule 1 Below) </li> <li>If suggesting or recommending a program - post a link to the developers/original download site. Links to general download sites or mirrors may be out of date or go down. No direct linking (to executables etc) - many sites consider "direct linking" as bandwidth theft - and users should always land on a download page so they can see what they are downloading. </li> <li>Time limited Special offers - if the expiry date/time is known - please include in the topic subject. </li> <li>Do not ask how to install/transfer/copy/backup giveaway software after the giveaway has finished. The only supported way to install giveaway software is by running the supplied setup and/or activate programs prior to the giveaway period expiring. Giveaways may be rerun periodically. If you "want it now" and like the software enough, you should show your support to the developers and purchase or register the software. </li> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill#Shills_on_the_internet">Shill posting</a> (including affiliate links, or games/promotional links where the poster benefits by points or dollars etc by getting more clicks) and spam/commercial advertising is definitely not permitted. Posts suspected or known as such will be removed or updated to reflect this fact. </li> <li>Users who post in these forums, only as an opportunity to promote their own commercial site, will probably result in all their posts being removed. If you wish to advertise, consider offering your products as a daily giveaway instead. </li> </ol> <code></code> General Forum Etiquette <ol> <li>Before Requesting help or posting - please read the program instructions or try google first (you would be surprised how many questions are answered after a 5 second visit to google.com). Also Google is helpful in finding articles to explain concepts you don't understand, or conversely leave you even more despondent and confused. </li> <li>Check if a related topic already exists and add to that - don't create another topic. Lots of little topics scroll off the front page faster and get forgotten. The big topics <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_(Internet)">get bumped</a> with each new (on topic) question and reply. Stick with the strength. </li> <li>When starting a topic - try to use a subject that describes the issue or question. Topics with generic titles of "Question" or "I can't Activate" are more likely to be ignored. If it relates to a program or giveaway - put the program name in the subject so "Rule 2" can apply. </li> <li>Keep posts on topic. If you want to discuss a different matter or ask an unrelated question - start a new topic. (Thread Hijackings may be deleted) </li> <li>Posting in all CAPITALS, is considered shouting and rude. Such posts will probably be deleted. </li> </ol> . . .

There is an expectation of courteous and friendly behavior and language from all users in these forums. Users of all ages, walks of life, cultural backgrounds and computing skills visit and contribute in these forums. Not all users have english as a first language. We exist to discuss software, share tips and help one another. Discussion and comments on Politics, Religion, or other topics that result in tears and yelling don't belong here. There are other websites that want to hear your political or religious views. These rules may evolve over time - but the general feel and purpose will remain the same. Any comments on these - feel free to PM me.

This is known as a false positive - which is caused because the check Spybot is making is far too broad and catching other "innocent bystander" products. It is not the giveaway software that is at fault - but spybot not being specific enough to test for the "keylogger" product from Virtuoza. I have also checked the software against using two other products - neither detecting any "keylogger" software.

Spybot Search and Destroy finds it, I even cleaned and uninstalled and cleaned again got a clean report and installed it again and retested to make sure and its definately from InControl....Keylogger from Virtuoza...Be warned people.

I'd just like to know why please. However, you've posted my 2nd post (which was much later,) directly to Virtuoza Software about a known bug, so I know moderation has been done before that. I'd appreciate an explanation, thanks, ~ Swan Lee on "AOL Open Forum" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/518#post-2510 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 17:27:55 +0000 Lee 2510@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Seems you must be an AOL user. Your AOL browser when opened starts at the AOL forum. Like when I finish an install my default browser opens. If it's a fact you use AOL and use broadband, there is no need to install their buggy software to connect to the net. I am an AOL user and I set my connection up manually, no software needed. aj on "AOL Open Forum" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/518#post-2508 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:14:34 +0000 aj 2508@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ This is really strange. Everytime I try to run one of the setup programs downloaded for giveaway of the day programs, my system only installs AOL Open Forum. Any idea what can possibly be going on?
