No worries, will be doing the same myself tonight. If you find any problems or have suggestions the forums on the beta site are staffed.

Not an advert just a chance for current users and the curious to get their hands on the latest and greatest at no charge.
I didn't know Grisoft did Anti-Spam, Privacy, Parental Controls, Firewall, Spyware detection, Ad Blocking, Pop-up stopping, Web Bug blocking and Antivirus all managed from one easy to use and extremely informative utility.
That's an advert, cheers for the opportunity

Not that I am techo wiz or anything. But try closing IE, then clicking the link in the email from McAfee.
It worked for me.
Edited to add.
I have been experiencing problems, in that I have 5 accounts and now all of the messages both "blocked & un-blocked, all get deposited in my default account. This is on hte order of 40 mails a day.
i have tried to log-on the the beta site, however they have no record of my mail address!!!.
Oh well I suppose you get nothing for nothing

Jack,
I assume I will need to uninstall my current version (7.0)?
When I have finished playing and I uninstall 8.0, are there any known problems re-installing 7.0 back again?

I know nothing about any problems, looking for a few of my own. I'll help as much as I can but the boards are probably the best place.
Ian, there was a message on the boards regarding that version of Outlook and Spamkiller, mixed results.
Privacy Service has a good features, great for kids in todays climate.

Is the forum available to the puiblic - or is this your internal one? I've got some questions about Spamkiller when it is installed on XP Home running multiple user accounts. SK seems to run a lot slower (and sometimes crashes) when Sal uses it. If I log into my user account, it works fine. I was wondering if there were any known issues with SK?
Thanks
Chris
