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.

Got one of your guys down our place on Monday Jack for ePO. ;)

Who? ePO is the dogs, I thought you were already using it.

is that a blatant advert??

i use http://www.grisoft.com
full product free for home users.....LOL

BB:)

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 :)

:rolleyes:

I go to download it after registering and activating the account

and it tells me :-

I'm going to install in the morning Ian, will let you know if I get the same or ask on the message board for you.

Cheers Jack.

The answer was 'we've got one here that works perfectly'

What browser are you using, bla, bla, bla?

IE6 SP1 IIRC

Is currently set to accept all cookies

I use the same version, have submitted it on the message board, will let you know if we get lucky.

Just tried it on another XP Pro machine with the same version of IE and get the same still!

I am running out of machines to try it on here now ;)

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

WEll I have just tried it again, and it is working this time!

Lets try VS8 to start with then!

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?

Darren

Well the Spam Killer and Outlook 2003 do not like running together

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.

Not had a chance to look on the forums yet :rolleyes:

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

It's a public beta, you should be able to get to the message boards. Let me know if you can't get in.

Cheers Jack
