Virex 6.0 is out; two troubleshooting items

Virex 6.0 is out. Information, of sorts, is at both the Dr. Solomon and NAI sites. Neither site clearly mentions the 6.0 version. It is only because of messages from our readers (and a posting to Version Tracker) that we are aware that there is an update to be had. Apparently, you must be a registered user to access the update download. Call 801-492-2600 or 408-988-3832 for help.

Note: This page is where you actually download Virex 6, after obtaining a license.

Two troubleshooting notes:

Timbuktu Julian Koh writes: "The bug where File Exchange with Timbuktu Pro fails if Virex is active is still present. If you have "Scan Files when Opened" set in the Virex Control Panel on the destination machine when you start a File Exchange in Timbuktu, the file transfer fails." NAI had previously indicated that this update would fix the bug.

Meeting Maker Steve Mase writes: "If the Virex 5.9.1 control panel was turned on, you couldn't successfully install the Meeting Maker 5.5.x client. It would stop with an 'unexpected error.'" Meeting Maker is now up to 6.0.2. This version would run successfully with Virex 6.0b5. However, it fails again with the final version of 6.0. Virex Support indicated to Steve that a fix for this was not likely until Virex 7.0.
