Update WinU before 2010 to avoid date\time 'sanity check' issues.

Last week I mentioned that people should look at updating WinU because of date\time sanity check issues with post 12/31/2009 dates.  I didn’t look up the specific version info at the time but for those of you wondering “do I have the latest version?” - here is a link to Bardon’s revision history for WinU

WinU 6.5 is the latest public release, and the ONLY release with updates for the date\time sanity check issue as well as support for modern Internet browsers and Windows XP Service Pack 3. 

Once again, I strongly urge anyone who uses the WinU product to update it to the latest version (6.5) before the end of 2009.

 WinU by Barton

For all you WinU users out there.  I was doing a little research on desktop security products and antivirus today and I came across an interesting statement pertaining to older version of the WinU software product.

Bardon, the makers of WinU, has a notice posted on it’s website stating that all WinU clients should be updated to their latest version before January 1, 2010.  Older versions of the software looked at January 1, 2010 as an “Excessively Future Date” and will change the date to something earlier (they didn’t say what).
