Hi

There have been some 'issues' with upgrades caused by a corrupted rules
database. My first suggestion would be to try a delete of these files,
have a look here http://www.zonelabs.com/services/support_issues.htm#
11issues and follow these instructions. You will need to authorise all
your programs again I'm afraid.

Regards

Bill
