Dear Aleksander,
In that case I have to retract my recommendation to give the website and
the software "a try, with all due caution".
I can only add that my "due caution" consisted in keeping my Norton
Antivirus alert and active, even when I went against its advice not to
proceed with this site.
Best wishes,
Jan
