Feed Notifier

Pros

Truly a great program - best rss feed program I've ever tried. However...see below.

Cons

The executable feed-notifier-2.6.exe, "Feed Notifier Setup " has been detected as malware by 41 anti-virus scanners. The program is a setup application that uses the Inno Setup installer, however the file is not signed with an authenticode signature from a trusted source. Infected by an entry-point obscuring polymorphic file infector which will create a peer-to-peer botnet and receives URLs of additional files to download. - herdprotect.com

Summary

It appears the author hasn't paid any attention to his site for a couple of years, which is sad - going to contact paypal about his donate button, hopefully that gets his attention.
