Hi Pete, Thanks for the info. I actually already have the current version running. I'm very happy with it's performance. I just did not have a clear understanding on those issues.
On another note, when you have the new version install, will it overwrite my current settings? And will it also install scripts for updating the rule base, and sending logs? Because I already have that setup now.
