1230739 2011-09-13 21:47:00 So v5 has been released now, has anyone upgraded Internet Security v4 to v5? nedkelly (9059)
1230740 2011-09-13 22:03:00 Pleaze let us know how the new Firewall works. Better than the old one?? paulw (1826)
1230741 2011-09-13 22:13:00 IMO the firewall in v4 was great, once I set it up had no issues with it nedkelly (9059)
1230742 2011-09-14 09:50:00 Don't use IS, just the AV. pctek (84)
1230743 2011-09-14 09:54:00 Been using th RC versions on workshop PC's since they came out --- Seem to work Fine. wainuitech (129)
1230744 2011-09-14 10:54:00 @pctek: Oh? you dont like the firewall either?
@wainui: did you upgrade and use your existing key when you did that? Or clean install?

1230745 2011-09-14 20:13:00 Well. Thought I'd install the V5 AV after reading this last night.

It munted Windows.
I had a NOD window with no contents. LAN came to a grinding halt. Explorer.exe hung. Nothing worked. What a mess.
Had to take it out manually in Safe Mode (cause of course they use .msi which doesn't work in safe mode) and now I have put V4 back.

1230746 2011-09-14 20:58:00 @wainui: did you upgrade and use your existing key when you did that? Or clean install? When I first put it on, it was in the beta stage. I tried to put the beta over the top / upgrade from V4 , but it failed - i sent in a bug report, and got a reply back a few days later saying they were working on that bug (several had reported it) The RC then went straight in over the existing Beta.

When I put the finished version in, I'll be removing the RC completely.

If you have an existing licence user name and password that still works fine with V5 -- Unlike other (no names mentioned) AV's they dont charge you for an upgrade.

1230747 2011-09-14 21:11:00 Im wondering if I should wait a while seeing as pctek said it munted windows nedkelly (9059)
1230748 2011-09-14 22:15:00 I've installed it on 10+ PCs yesterday and today, all installing over top (upgrading) and have had no issues at all. Really like it, I used one of the earlier RC versions and it was a tad buggy, but the final product looks to me to be excellent. Would be really interested if you figure out exactly what went wrong with yours, PC. wratterus (105)
