Description
Desktop BBC News is an application that sits on your desktop - or at the front - that shows you the latest BBC headlines. You can choose which news category you would like to monitor and click on any item for a summary; click Read More if you would like to view the full story. Stories can be read using the system's default browser or a specially-created feed reader.

Important: There is currently a malware-infected version of Desktop BBC News being spread via email. It is approx. 780KB in size and contains at least three trojans. Please note that I have never distributed my software via email and have only ever made them available via this website.

To ensure that you are running an official version of my software, download it from this website only. If you have obtained Desktop BBC News from an alternate source and you would like to ensure that it is an unmodified version of the download available here, then please use the QuickiHash application to check its MD5 signature (click on the hash link above).
