PC Tools Firewall Plus

Hi all

I've just upgraded to the new version of the free PC Tools Firewall (I'm now on version 6.0.0.86).
Unlike the last version (v5), this one seems to take a while to initialise.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled just in case but it still seems to take a while to start up. It appears next to clock OK, but seems to stay black and while and showing initialising for quite a while.

Anyone else run across this problem?

    When I goto my 'smart update' its still not showing version 6 which indicates to me that 6 isnt possibly working correctly

    Never thought of that. I used the FileHippo update checker and it told me that the newest version was V6 so I installed it.
    IIRC, it uninstalled V5 itself before installing V6.

    ::edit::
    If I uninstall V6, is there any way of keeping the current rules?
    I really don't fancy having to tell it all over again about the programs I've got.
