Not in any specific order - hogging of system resorces, tagging email
addys in my allowed list as spam, email virus scan crashing and refusing
access to email accounts without a reboot, inability to do a virus scan
on the pc and change accounts without NIS crashing, av scan crashes when
downloading binary NG headers, refusing access via supervisor/admin
account to change other account details, confusing different account
settings, killing online gaming.. and thats just the tip of the ice-
burge..
 
NIS 2004 was great but 2005 is about as reliable as the crap they
vomited out in 2000/1 IMO.
