Warning about Tortoise update

["Douglas W. Goodall" <douglas...@mac.com>]

Friends,

I just wanted to warn those of you that use the Tortoise SVN Client on 
windows
about a problem with their new updated version.

When you get to their web site to download the update, at the top of the 
page is
a very inviting DOWNLOAD button.

Unless you look carefully (I didn't), you may miss the fact that you are 
downloading
not the Tortoise update but rather a down-loader program.

When it dawned on me, I jumped to the conclusion that the down-loader 
was part
of the process of downloading Tortoise.

In fact that may be, but when that down-loader began running, it not 
only wanted to download
Tortoise, but also a number of other unexpected programs that you 
probably don't need or want.

The first of these downloaded before I caught on. Even though I 
cancelled the download , Genio
has installed and suddenly I was getting unwanted pop-ups on my screen 
telling me about news
items and offering to sell me more software. I had to go into the 
Windows control panel and
remove Genio by hand to get rid of this annoying behavior.

The moral of the story is as expected, Pay attention when you are on the 
Tortoise download page
because the most obvious DOWNLOAD button is in an advertisement, not for 
Tortoise. FYI
