Sexy New Cisco?
Looks like we've got a new Cisco skin. Can't say I like having the log in so small and off to the side, but the blue's pretty....

I really like it. Seeing as how I dont usually click on it anyway, since it should pop up when you are connected to a mac network.

Ironically, it checks my installed antiviruses but didn't detect that kaspersky wasn't on and still allowed me to connect.

Either way, I like the new look, hope they actually improved stuff behind the scenes and also like the icon, it goes with the new Office 2010 program icons I have (beta, if ur interested)

Anyone willing to provide a screenshot of this supposedly awesome program for the non-Windows crowd?

Did anyone have problems with it? I tried to log on every now and then for about an hour after updating but it kept saying "Network Error". Then I just gave up and went home to use the internet

So wait, do you ACTUALLY require an antivirus to use the new Cisco? I used to have TrendMicro but then it expired a few months ago.

I noticed that when updating Cisco, it said didn't detect any antivirus on my computer but I do have one: it's the "avast!" one.. which is free.

Do I have to purchase an official one or something?

Mac used to offer Sophos, but I think that they're switching to TrendMicro. It won't be free, but discounted.

Avast! definitely used to work, that sucks if it doesn't.

Pretty annoying that I have a free one that works fine for me, and it's all like...sorry you don't have an anti-virus.

And I have to update my Windows, which I can't do because the damn internet at Thode downloads so slowly that it would take an hour to download 10 MB. And why the hell should I have to update my Windows anyway? The biggest update I hadn't done is upgrade IE to 8.0...who the hell uses that program anyway?

Is there anyway to prevent it from starting when windows starts up?

I was able to disable the old version via Windows Defender but that doesn't seem to work for this one. I also checked the registry and msconfig, and it wasn't listed in either spot.

Tips?
