@shaka - I don't think it likes the user agent for WebVersions (or WGET for that matter), a web proxy seems to work:

Thanks for this post - it's much appreciated and I really like to use these tools. However you might want to use an XP registry cleaner |

Still loving this program. It worked well on Vista, and it still works great on my upgrade (yes upgrade) to XP SP3. I just recently used it to disable some unneeded stuff launching with my partition backup program. thanks.

Why should anyone use the portable version of this utility? |

Although this is a nice integrated package for the novice, if you are looking for something more powerful, I would suggest Autoruns (which shows you almost everything that autostarts with the system, including devices and services), and MJ RegWatcher (for alerting you to suspicious registry modifications). Both are more complex than APV, but also far more sophisticated and powerful. |
