I have been a "member" of DriverGuide.com for quite awhile, over several different ISPs.

Recently, while attempting to setup an older (but still NIB) Kodak Printer under Win2K, I found the setup CD only had setups for Win95/98/SE/ME/.

I wound up at DriverGuide.com after a search for the files led me there. My old user name (old email address) was invalid..so..like an idiot, I entered my current POP address.

That night..some 10 hours later, I began receiving tons of spam. I was getting 3 to 5 spam mails a week prior to this..now, I am receiving 35/40 a day.

DriverGuide.com has become a collector/seller of current email accounts.

To top that off, yesterday I would have received a virus, had not my ISP caught it!

This posting was for your benefit...my advice would be to stay as far away from DriverGuide.com as possible.
