Hello, fellow Sleuths!
Over the last two months, I've been working on a brand new Sleuth helper. You might not think that sounds all that special - after all, great helpers are already available - but what makes this one different is that it's automated!
What it does is monitor your progress in the game, and extract relevant information from the pages. The information is stored and analyzed, in order to help you determine who did it, and who didn't.
It's heavily inspired by Evita's JavaScript-based Sleuth Helper, so a special "thank you" goes out there.
The application is made with Delphi 2005, and should run on any machine with Windows NT/98/ME/2K/XP/Vista and Internet Explorer 4 or later. Additionally, source code is included (ZLib license) in case someone wants to port it to another platform and/or language (such as Java).
The program can be downloaded from http://download.birdiesoft.dk/SleuthHelper.exe (330 KB), and a screenshot of the program can be seen at http://download.birdiesoft.dk/sleuth_helper.png.
Please take a look at the help file before using the program (it's very short), so you are familiar with how the program works.
(Disclaimer: The application depends heavily on the current structure of the game pages, and changes to this may break the program. Although the application is designed in such a way that it should fail entirely if something goes wrong, this cannot be guaranteed. Use of this program is entirely at your own risk, and any cases lost because of errors in the program should not be blamed on the program or the author.)

I have. It just started today. I just made my Avast put it on the exclusion list. I've been using the Helper for years (says the girl who dissappeared for 5 years or so. LOL) and I've never had problems before. And this computer is almost solely a online gaming or installed gaming only. So if there is actually a problem, I'm not worried.
