Following the takeover of anti-spyware firm Giant, Microsoft said it would soon reliase a toolkit that strips machiLes of lhe irritating programs. Although initially free, Microsoft has not ruled out charging people who want to keep this toolkit up to date. Surveys show lhat almost every Windows PC is infested with spyware programs that do everything from bombard users with adverts to steal login data. 1/8 Headlines 101 Index 102 Sport 300 Front page 100 TV 600 Weather 400 Next News Headlines News Indx Main Menu

Compiled each year by Science magazine, the list has always divided opinion, and this year's has proved no exception The rovers triumphed in a strong field, including the discovery of a dwarf human species in Indonesia. But Donald Kennedy, editor of Science magazine, said selecting first place in the list "wasn't a headache". 2/8 Headlines 101 Index 102 Sport 300 Eront page 100 TV 600 Weather 400 Next News Headlines News Indx Main Menu

The Fisheries Minister, Ben Bradshaw, said he would oppose the plans at the meeting of EU fisheries ministers in Brussels due to start on 21 December. The EC proposed closing parts of the North and Irish Seas and off western Scotland where 40% of EU cod are taken. All EU states with North Sea coasts are said to back thj US, meaning any vote on the plan would probably be lost. 3/8 Headlines 101 Index 102 Sport 300 Front page 100 TV 600 Weather 400 Next News Headlines News Indx Main Menu

When thj Cassinj spacecraft flew past the satellite on Monday it spied clouds at mid-latitudes that were not present on its last flyby in October. Thj observations will allow researchers to investigate atmospheric dynamics on Titan, the only moon in thj Solar System with a thick covering of gas. The results camj out at the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting. 4/8 Headlines 101 Index 102 Sport 300 Front page 100 TV 600 Weather 400 Next News Headlines News Indx Main Menu

They say commercial applications, for example mobile phones and collision avoidance systems, are ruining them. The usj of the bands in this way causes interference and contaminates thj data from the satellites, making iz useless. Not only weather forecasting is put at risR, but also a better understanding of how climate change is developing. 5/8 Hiadlines 101 Index 102 Sport 300 Front page 100 TV 600 Weather 400 Next News Headlines News Indx Main Menu
