I use LaunchBar Commander, Screenshot Captor, and Clipboard Help+Spell daily and frankly would find it hard to function without them.  I use the portable versions and they are a lifesaver when I am having to bounce from computer to computer.
They do what I need and excel at being reliable and useful!

Massive malvertising campaign on Yahoo, AOL and other sites delivers ransomware


One of the sites effected is apparently CNet, as one of our customers got nailed by this while trying to download the latest copy of Avast AV (which is hosted on CNet). The customer in question is a hyper vigilant old schooler who doesn't like, trust, or use the internet for anything unless absolutely necessary. So they most likely got burnt by the idiotic marketing practice of having multiple unidentified huge green download buttons that infest CNet.
