I understand that this is version 3.0, the troublesome, too-soon 'retail - beta' release. You will need to update it to version 3.1 to have a secure, reliable program (some extra goodies in the patch, too). Apparently, the 3.1 patch works fine on this free version. Releasing earlier, fully functional versions of programs for free seems to be a consistent marketing strategy for some companies now, at least here in the UK. I can see why people might be upset by it, but on the whole I think it's a good thing. At the very least, it removes any 'justification' (read: excuse) for using a pirate copy of a program.
