Michael,

I've had it since it came out (and nearly all of the older versions
going back to InnoculateIT) with no problems at all. It is running fine
on eight family machines, and quite a few friends machines where I've
removed Norton. No one is having problems in this group of about 25+ people.

There was a "freeze/lockup" problem that came up on this version as well
as the one before but I determined it was Zone Alarm's 5.??? versions
causing that. A few of us had freezes on occasion and delayed startup
cases and EZAV being reported as in conflict with email scanner.

Based on info/feedback from these fine newsgroup folks, the suggestion
was that ZA was more of the problem than EZAV. I switched back to Zone
Alarm v4.5.594.000 and indeed NO PROBLEMS at all. ZA has a newer version
out now 5.???062 which may have addressed the problems but I am giving
it a little time to shake out before I have all these folks switch over.

Hope this helps, Fred
