Duane -

So you were able to upgrade it to v.2.9 and then to v.3.5? And v3.5 is the
same as their new product (i.e. BI PC Protection)?

I would prefer not to use the built in firewall, especially since I already
bought Black Ice last year. At the very least, Black Ice provides a lot of
information about who is doing what to your computer - but with the built in
firewall, you arent even notified if something is going on.

Thanks
Mike
