Automated site capture

[rgdot]

Is there a program that can, via an internal browser or perhaps other method, automatically load a site and take a screenshot of it? For example I want to take a screenshot of example.com every day at 3PM.
I am thinking if such a program doesn't exist may be an existing website capture program can be set to do it with an external task scheduler?

Any ideas?

I really did google it, don't ask how I didn't find that  
Thanks, although freeware would be better seems exactly what I need, this might be the shortest thread ever on DC

Don't speak too soon. A lot of websites nowadays seem to have coded-in detection of crawlers and downloaders that behave badly - e.g., start firing off hundred of queries a second, which overloads the server. To protect the server, if a norty crawler  is detected, then that crawler/downloader is blocked.
This has the potential effect of making some site-scraping software obsolete.

Good point, these tools have the potential to abuse. As for me I will be doing one site - one page - once a day.

Sorry, I did not register this till just now.
If you have not already tried it, then I would recommend you take a look at: ScrapBook
It's very handy indeed. I use it all the time.
