    I just tried it on two systems and it bombed out. then I find this forum and what appears to be a number of unhappy campers - this after I got a 2yr/4user license for a client of mine. if this thing sucks please let me know so I dont waste time I dont have + tell me what you are using - I have tried trend and bitdefender and was not thrilled by several issues. Thanks a ton!

    oh, it also does not update via isa server. they issued me a refund in <5 minutes so that is good - hope they get it worked out as I am always on the lookout for products

    I have been using ESS with Vista 64 SR1 RC since it was released last week on 3 machines without any issues. (two laptops/one desktop) Sorry, but ESS may not be the culprit. :)

    Vista Home Premium 64bit + SP1 v.668.

    ESS still running as well (or as badly) as it did before. No new issues to report, basically.

    I stand by my claims

    both 32b machines were new oftb, opti 755 and a lat d630, vista business with sp1rc and it bombed out on both installs, had to use sys rec to get whole again. I though wtf, loaded it up on an xp sp2 machine and no prob, but updates through isa 04 did not work and win msg crapped out. its personal but the interface is hard to make out, look at trend for a comp, not that trend is great, its a resource heavy item, but its installs on most anything and gets along well with other programs. I pulled the pin on this because a client (law firm of all places) wanted it - I run most of my stuff through exch via gfi, not the most elegant iface but it works pretty well. there is no silver bullet, but this eset product has issues and there quick refund bears this out.

    Except that Vista SP1 doesn't get delivered via Windows Update, unless you download a small app from Microsoft which puts something in your registry that marks your PC as a target for Vista SP1.
