Is this teh same one that was showing here eyes the other day? I think they have a rather poor opinion of developers if they think that kind of drivel will distract us... Sigh | :sigh:

Oh, it wasn't the same avatar picture, it's just the use of a female name and "look-at-this-boys" picture that it's unlikely that any real female in the industry would want to use: it's hard enough for women to be taken seriously in this business without pandering to sexual stereotypes right from the off.

I'd suggest you ask Alison, but that might not be a good idea... Unsure | :~

I don't know Alison, but I agree about that of the "not a good idea" Poke tongue | ;-P

Not sure as the first link is to a paid suite that does what the OP is after

second link is to a google search, third to a stackoverflow question.

~~But what do you think? (I am not going to link directly to the author, in case I am wrong)~~
After taking a deeper look at his posted Tip, I really don't think I am wrong about this.
Article: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=108957&aid=710875[^]

I noticed his published Tip has a section about Registry cleanup as well~~, but I don't see any spammy links there~~.
[EDIT]
Member: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=10069785[^]
The first revision of his published Tip has the same spammy link as the new article. I am not sure if that warrants reporting the published Tip as spam, but it seems clear to me the Tip was only published to get that link out there: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?aid=596499&av=879678[^]

He also has a message[^] with the same link in it.

So definitely a spammer[^].

Yeah, I don't know if you can get completely rid of that. Perhaps I should remove the link to the Tip from my message...

Looks like a traditional spam message, apart from the fact that he's not put any content in the anchor tag, so it doesn't appear! D'Oh! | :doh:

Looking at the source, the link is to a commercial tool.
