----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello there, I have used On Guard. I tried out version 1.5 and was very happy, and bought a site license for version 2.0. I have not been as happy. I really like the features of the program, it gives the security that I need, lets me set up various levels of security for different users, no one has cracked it unlike At Ease that my students got past in 30 seconds. I also like the fact you can change the settings over a network. But, version 2.0 has lots of problems, it can really scramble the harddrive, I have about 60 machines using it and I have to run Norton Utilities daily on at least 1 or 2 machines because the blocks get scrambled. Power On is aware of the problems and are supposedly shipping an update almost any day now. If the update fixes those problems, I will love it, but until then I would be hesitant to recommmend it. If you have any other questions, let me know Mark Rippy I may clean bathrooms but I don't do Windows! Its the Wintel of my discontent....
