Any reason to upgrade from SAVC 8 to 9?

All i hear are problems with 9. Are there any reasons to upgrade it from 8?

This really belongs in the general discussion forums, but to answer your question, there are a few new features to V9.

Some of the newer features are on the management side of things, such as drag and drop clients between parent servers. Others are small but nice additions like the minimal discovery of spyware/adware (keep using Spybot and Ad-Aware). If you are using the Destop Firewall Client with SAV9, there is a threat tracer that attempts to discover the source of a virus infection and then the firewall blocks all traffic to that client.

And of coarse the XP SP2 compatibility, although from what I understand there will be patches for V8 sometime with that functionality. Oh and I almost forgot since I don't use this, a thing called VPN Sentry. Essentially this lets a parent server challenge a client that is trying to VPN in to the local network. The client must respond to the challenge you define (version level, virus defs up to date, etc.).
