Speaking of Mudcat's notice that "the recent Mudcat problems" are due to the funwebproducts stuff, I regularly (usually in the mornings) find it impossible to get onto Mudcat by the front door. Later in the day I almost always can come in the front door. I can find the back door, which would be okay, I guess, except that it won't recognize me for the purpose of attaching my name to posts, and I can't use the search facility from the back door. Though I haven't tested it, I assume I can't do PMs from the back door.

Outside of Mudcat, I have no other negative symptoms that might relate to funwebproducts. I periodically (almost daily) run Ad-Aware and Spybot D&D and Registry Mechanic, as well as Norton AV, and get a clean bill of health from each and all of them.

I am forced to conclude that the Mudcat problems are NOT due to funwebproducts, at least in my case.
