Dear Nicko,
We received your query enquiring about the update for SiteAdvisor from v.2.6.0.6253 to v.2.6.0.6261 . Thank you for contacting us.
1. The new build contains an update specifically for all users who have decided to be a part of our PIP program (Product Improvement Program) to support future SiteAdvisor releases. Please note that all users will get this update (v.2.6.0.6261). If the users have enrolled in our PIP program then they will be prompted for certain updates to test our beta products.
2. All SiteAdvisor Updates are automatic unless there is a change in our Privacy Policy, in which case the user would be notified. If the user decides to decline our Privacy Policy, then the user will not be upgraded/updated to the new version and will continue to have the old version that was already installed on the machine.
3. If you are installing manually, then both over-install would work fine. You can also un-install, reboot and re-install the new version. It would not make much difference.
4. Please refer point 2.
This release does not contain the patch for FireFox 3 RC1 since this update is only for IE. We've fixed the FireFox issue and will be releasing (separately) the patch shortly. Thank you for being patient.
Sincerely,
Praveen Rajaretnam
