Especially older stuff. The day I did that update, I had to repurchase Quicken, a Bible program, a Card and Poster program.

Quicken had me concerned most because I did not want to loose 8 months of bookkeeping entries. But the new version utilized by backup. First, the backup must be copied from A drive to C drive, then converted.

One safe-gaurd - I always keep 2 hard drives. Updates usually affect C drive. But if I run into a problem, I can run stuff off D drive.

By the way, we use Spybot and Ad Aware too, but also now, AVAST. Avast has a free version and is one of the best we have ever used.
