New Version of LinkScanner Pro

Just noticed that there is a new version of LinkScanner Pro (2.7) available and was wondering if it is just a case of installing over the top of the current version (2.6) or whether I need to uinstall the current version first

Any advice gratefully accepted.

 

I have not used LSP for a little while, but from what I remember about upgrades, I believe I installed on top of my exsisting version.

 

Normally you can install over the top, which I did.
However I sent a support ticket because it is not updating the exploits and malware sites (in my case).

Thanks both

I will try an 'over the top' and if that does not work I will roll back, uninstall and then install the new version.

 

I meant malicious sites

 

Problem solved

 

Installed over the top and seems to be running fine...I would love to know what the difference are between the two versions.

 

That info has always been a kind of mystic.

After installing the newest version I have noticed that The LinkscannerConnect.exe is no longer present. I wonder if this means that Linkscanner no longer uses the CallingID database?

 

Same thing here. Have you logged a web ticket with support?

 

Hello Everybody,

Regardless of whether one is performing an over-the-top install or a clean install of a LinkScanner Pro(LSP) program update, I highly recommend that one test to ensure that their copy of LSP is functioning properly by visiting the following link.

If the above test fails, it may mean that a "repair" install is in order or a conflict with another program has occurred during the LSP install process. Hope this helps.

Tring LSP again myself.
I like this piece of security software, the only reason I removed it was due to conflicts and if I remember correctly explorer crashes.Not sure on the last one as i'm not as young as I used to be but LSP is back up and running and time will tell if it stays on or not.

 

And it's back off again.....
Major slowdown...to a crawl.
Must be conflicting with something.
Maybe when I get a little more time i'll see if I can find out what it is but untill then its gotta go.

 

And back on again.
It was my ISP to blame not LSP.

 

For those who are interested,

The major changes/improvements to LinkScanner Pro v2.7 are as follows according to Jon at technical support.

- Improved performance for phishing heuristic.
- Fixed problem with incorrect scan statistics in the Monitor status window once the byte count becomes too large.
- Sporadic issues with
sploitchecker.dll crashing have now been resolved.

Any word if or when Opera will be supported
I don't use IE anymore.(at least I try not to)

 

Hello LoneWolf,

Unfortunately, I have no idea as to the timetable of when LSP's "Search Shield" will be functional in Opera.
