Subject: Fritz 7 update problems

Recently the fritz7server.de started containing a mention in the Tournament
areas about an elusive May 2002 Fritz 7 update available at
www.chessland.de/Fritz7Update.exe. But that link does not work! Also when you
login to fritz7server.de, no update is mentioned, nor does it appear if you
access the query update function.

Attempting to go to the root site at www.chessland.de produces an ActiveX
attack, and it is necessary to use CAD (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) to escape it. [Try
disabling ActiveX in your browser, and see what happens! You'll get an endless
series of rapid popups...]

The Chessbase site is still talking about and offering the April 2002 update. I
downloaded it again just to be sure. It's still the April 2002 update version of
Fritz7update.exe

That's very misleading & unreliable behavior, to say the least, and anything
downloaded should certainly not be trusted.
