Ditto Silj

This is the "network" download--meant for administrators who need tobe able to apply the update to many different machines. Silj

Bummer...

Anyone considered paying a few bucks/pounds for NOD32 Silj

The RTM build is not up on this side of the pond, yet. I think folks are grabbing whatever URLs they can find in a rush to install the upgrade. Silj

It is not on Windows Update yet - you may get much larger builds elsewhere if you wish to hog your hard-drive. Silj

There will certainly be a heavy server load for this much-anticipated upgrade. Since MS has now fixed Vista - they want happy XP users, we shall see. As I've said elsewhere, you might expect some Vista bits in this update, I do not know for sure. Silj

The RTM of XP SP3 is officially scheduled for April 29. I would not mess with anything else until then. Silj

Good to hear the file is working well for you. Silj

The point being? Silj

Being an advanced memeber, I should not to walk you though this

Just remove the file and you will revert to your original set-up. Silj

LS Users may use the web update feature. SE Users *must* manually update using one of the two below URLs http://www.lavasoft.com/single/mirror_down...php?f=948DEWk12 http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip More information on this update here > http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=17785 Silj

I wasn't suggesting you were having issues with my replies, any mal-intent is apologized for. We all need to learn but not on outdated software. Silj

SpyBot has a similar HOSTS File with many redundant entries. Therefore, do not run it or use it. Silj

Let's not get into a debate here, Kerio 2.1.5 is outdated Don't Run It! Silj

You don't want to run Kerio 2.1.5 since it now has security holes - unfortunatley. Windows Firewall works for me, FWIW. Silj

Cheers from the other side of the Pond, Dennis. Silj

I'd probably go with NOD32, free A-V's don't do half the job of a low-cost A-V. Silj

That would be correct, Ken - thanks. Silj

Always a pleasure, Dennis - enjoy the benefits of the file. Silj
