[dba-Tech] Interesting Vipre behavior

Susan,
If you are getting a service warning 3-4 times a day that it couldn't update
then it may be that your firewall is blocking the update port. Other than
that there is no reason that it should not be updating. If you turn the
firewall off and it's still not updating I think you should uninstall Vipre,
reboot and then reinstall it. 

PS: I found my box of RAM finally! Now I have to match it against your specs
to see if any might work.

I'm having trouble too -- it hasn't updated since the 5th and it won't 
update -- it's like it can't connect -- the dialog box just sits there, with

no activity. :(

I love it though... I guess I should stop and restart it?

=====I have the same problem -- I schedule it for 1 AM and it's still 
running in the morning. I pause it and then restart it the next evening. 
Takes 2 nights!
