Hi Michael -

I had problems with the new version 7 CA EZ-Antivirus as well.

I uninstalled the program and reinstalled (as opposed to installing over the
old version) and everything is working well now.

I think the user interface is pretty dumbed-down with the new version, but
the program appears to function well and I have not had any additional
issues since the clean reinstall.

Jef
