Embassy Suite issues should be resolved with VIPRE 4. We had to write a fair amount of code around this rather curiously developed program.
We have a new hotfix for 4.0 coming out shortly (Monday is the target) that should resolve Richard's problems with deployments.

Actually, with previous versions of VIPRE (beginning w/early CSE and continuing through VIPRE 3.1+), none of our Dells have screamed, griped, or simply pouted quietly. We're about a 98% Dell shop, and I believe they foise Embassy Sweat onto all their machines. (At least they do on laptops, and those too have seemed to work.)
