Only a minor issue, had to turn off scheduled defragmenting as I use SSDs. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have it turned off by default.

Windows 7 64 bit.

OS Windows 7 Home Premium with NIS 21 Beta. I have four compatibility/stability issues.

Issue 1: Blocks Mailwasher Pro from Firetrust and Outlook 2013 from sending or receiving mail, previous NIS 2013 did not.

Workaround: Settings-Network-Smart Firewall-set to OFF then check mail using Mailwasher Pro. After mail check re-enable the Smart Firewall.

Issue 2: NIS 21 BETA crashes when using the 'Smart Firewall' settings to add a program (Mailwasher Pro from Firetrust) to the Trusted List. Settings-Smart Firewall-Network-Program Rules-Configure-Add

NIS 21 BETA then restarts

Crash Dump. Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: NIS.exe Application Version: 12.10.0.30 Application Timestamp: 51b8949f Fault Module Name: RuleUI.dll Fault Module Version: 21.0.0.58 Fault Module Timestamp: 51c2b927 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 0002a28d OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

Issue 3: The Vault is not as good at putting in logon and password details when there are multiple logins for a page. Several times I have to reopen a page or close and open the vault to get it to select the correct one.

The issue is further compounded by The vault as during this time, the vault does not offer a pop up to choose a log on either. Something it does do when multiple logons are available for a site when using the NIS 2013.

Issue 4 NIS 21 Beta reports a Performance Alert on its own file ccSvcHst.exe

Performance Alert \Norton Identity Safe\Engine\2013.4.0.10\ccSvcHst.exe used 90% of at least one CPU. may not be an actual issue, I

mention it because previous versions of NIS that I have used have never reported performance issues caused by NIS.

I'm running Windows 7 and have been using Norton 360 Beta, two problems have shown up, first one was when checking performance levels of computer Norton just froze, it was still working just couldn't get it to close.

The window just remained in the middle of the screen and wouldn't move, close down or do any thing.

Only after switching PC off and back on did I manage to get shut of the Norton window.

Second problem is "Subscription Status Check" keep trying to check subscription on-line, just keep getting a window telling me I am not connected to internet and to retry, very frustrating.

The second problem could be just a failure on Norton's side so will keep checking but unless I manage to sort it will have to remove 360 in next 24 hours.

Every thing else is working as it should apart from full system scan appears to be slow.

So far, no issues whatsoever. The computer involved runs mainly mainstream applications, and is software-light, so that may account for that. I renewed the subscription and it automatically added the remaining 2 days to the renewal 14 days - last time round it didn't.

If any stability or compatibility issues appear,I'll add them later.

N i s installed on windows 7 ,64bit , no problems at all apart from taking longer to scan, all other functions seem to work ok ,do not use the vault so cannot comment on that
