Mr. Mark. Sorry for the clarity or lack thereof.

There are any number of search engines that run on-line (Alta Vista, Google, etc). Webferret has software you must download to conduct the same type of function. Why?

I remember that "company" in Canada (I believe) that required downloading software to view pornographic material from their site. Unbeknown to the user, the software was causing the modem (?) to call some 1-900 'bill me later' number in a foreign country racking up the users phone bill something terrible. I am suffering from CRS (can't remember s...) so some of this may be a little inaccurate.

Call me paranoid, but I'm a little leery about downloading when I don't understand. ;)
