Thanks LFC for the heads up on this.
So a few months ago you dutifully installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 on all your computers, then saw your life flash before your eyes when you discovered that you could no longer use your system administration scripts (or any other system administration tool besides Group Policy) to remotely manage those computers. Fortunately, that story had a happy ending: based on the knowledge gained from a Tales from the Script column and from a number of sample Service Pack 2 scripts found in the Script Center, you were able to regain the ability to use scripts to manage those machines. No doubt it was quite a shock to find out that your scripts were temporarily disabled, but at least you knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and could rest assured that your scripts would now work forever and ever.
As many of you know from painful experience, spyware is software that gathers personal information about you and/or reconfigures your computer settings, all without your knowledge or permission. Sometimes spyware is just a nuisance: it might continually reset your Internet Explorer home page. At other times spyware is downright malicious; some programs, for example, steal the credit card number you type in when ordering something over the Internet. Needless to say, a utility that can get rid of spyware is a utility worth having. That makes AntiSpyware a must for anyone concerned about Internet security.

Taking much of its inspiration from the PC game Doom 3, the film will take place in a paramilitary research facility on Mars, where things go awry and hell is literally raised. Some theories say that the Rock is actually Satan in disguise, which would tie in to the film and game's devilish setting.
Johnson let on about his excitement for the film. "Here's the great thing about Doom... It's rated 'R,' it's unapologetic, just like the video game. I love blowing [expletive] up, and in this movie..." Johnson also gave details about the legendary BFG, calling it a "bio-force gun," rather than the more profane term gamers pegged the acronym as standing for.
Doom the movie is expected to hit the screen in August and is being directed by Cradle 2 the Grave director Andrzej Bartkowiak. Contrary to earlier reports by id Software, the film is indeed being developed by Universal Pictures and will costar Die Another Day's Rosamund Pike in a less villainous role.
Doom 3 was released on the PC last August, and an Xbox version will hit shelves April 3.
