The program appears to do what it says, which was a bit of a surprise to me after seeing the reviews here. I’m not going to actually try it myself, because it is also something I don’t personally care about one bit. However, I will point out that a lot of you should cut the crap and drop the political nonsense. Some people care about this—let them care. You shouldn’t trash a program just because it has a weird version number. I will, however, take issue with the author for charging money for it. If he/she actually cared about the information he/she would have made it free.

Though if, for some reason or another, you want a homeland alert status available on your computer, this might be a good product for you. I’d suggest following the news instead if you really care about that, since it really isn’t vital information.
