"Note that DAZ is advising loading their software BEFORE even installing any security applications. Especially Zone Alarm."

That's pretty bold of Daz to think they are more important than your security. With most having all of it already installed, you would think Daz would have thier software work without uninstalling everything first and then having to install it back in again.

Though I have not had a problem with installing Carrara to my system.Though I don't have C5pro installed anymore, don't even have c6Pro installed anymore, I have the C6pro fixed/ C7pro version installed. LOL.
