FixNews works in conjunction with the newsreader, and provides the ability to "killfile", i.e. to filter articles based upon the subject and/or author. Wildcard support is included.
FixNews only works on Windows/95/98 and Windows/NT 4+.
The add-on is available from a hot-key. By default, the hot-key is set to Control/K. By pressing the hot-key from any window in the browser (typically the news windows,) the add-on interface can be accessed.
FixNews does not work with Microsoft Internet Explorer. It also does not support old-style or secure news-servers.
FixNews is known to work with several versions of Navigator, including 3.x, 4.04, 4.05 and 4.5. It should also work with any other versions.
FixNews is shareware. A free version of FixNews, including the basic killfile features, is available for downloads. There is no expiration date or any restrictions on usage. However, registering does provide additional features.
