    Hey guys,
    Thought I would give the beta a try since I used the previous version.But I'm having a slight problem. When I install it,my wireless connection drops. When I go back to a restore point(before install),the connection returns.Did this a couple times and the same thing happens. I don't have any other Suites installed and I really would like to give this a try.Cleaned out the registry to get rid of any junk files,but still doesn't work.Any ideas?Thanks

    You should try updating your wireless NIC drivers.

    Yep.Just did that.Going to see what happens. Chatted with my router manufacturer and he said that it looks like the drivers are being over written by the install?

    You should try just the AV and use another firewall or windows firewall?

    Since it is still a beta!

    I think you're confused. The router firware has nothing to do with NIC drivers.

    This sentence makes no sense. I asked you to update your wireless NIC drivers not your router firmware. That being said, you should have both updated.

    So, which did you update?

    I'm not confused. I updated the router firmware during the chat with the router manufacturer to make sure that the router wasn't acting stupid. I updated the NIC drivers like I said I was going to do in the previous post.

    Hello,

    What brands and models of router and wireless NIC are you using?

    Do you have any other security or network management software installed on the computer?

    Regards,
