    I read a lot about it when it first came out several years ago. Apparently it does nothing but warn you of the presence of a web bug on a web page. And they're everywhere.

    Bugnosis is interesting for a while and harmless but tiresome. In reality it's ineffective at doing anything but providing info. Give it a try if you're curious. It may encourage you to delete your TIF's more frequently.

    If all it does is inform, then I'm not interested. Thanks...

    To add to what DanC said, my understanding is that Bugnosis tells you the page has a bug, but not whether the bug is bad or not. (Some bugs do little more than take a count of views.) So adding that to the fact that Bugnosis does nothing about the bug (good or bad), anyway, I never installed it.
