9.9.1 looks good so far

plaintigeri've been using PGP products on and off for years, and like others i have had some problems with their bugs, user-hostile interfaces/installation procedures, and questionable support. i can't claim to have really put it through its paces yet, but i will say that so far, PGP Desktop Home 9.9.1 is the least problematic PGP product i've used. it installed properly the first time (*that's* never happened before) and i haven't yet seen any unexpected behaviors...all of which - especially in light of the nightmares wrought by my attempt to use the free, open-source substitutes (GPGThis, GPGThat, and GPGTheOtherThing) - are very welcome.
my experience isn't very extensive, but as far as it goes, it indicates that PGP's the security package to use. 9.9.1 appears solid, and the alternatives i've tried definitely suck.
good luck...
Go back to your purchase confirmation...

...attached as a PDF to the confirmation email from PGP, and you will find a non-expiring link.
I have never had the kind of problems with this product other people do. And I am not a moron, nor a PGP employee.

Hey, PGP morons: let me know when the download link actually links to a download. Until then, stop wasting pixels.

PGP human support - Version: 9.9, 10/27/2008 01:29AM PST

I, too, have had a damned frustrating few years as a customer of PGP. At one point (in 2006 I think) I got so pissed off with their opaque contact "cone of silence" I wrote some really shitty emails. As a result, a human contacted me and subsequently proved helpful and conciliatory.
It's probably not fair to post his email address here without asking him first, so I won't. But grumpy users might consider writing to <contact@pgp.com>, Another place to register your dissatisfaction is <http://www.crankycustomer.com/>

'm Giving Up on PGP - Version: 9.9, 10/24/2008 07:29AM PST

Thanx
I need to upgrade. I'm eligible, but their silly CRM system is such garbage that it can't handle the upgrade request, and they deliberately prevent you from contacting them about it.
This is crazy. They actually don't want me or my entire organization to give them money for their product.
OpenPGP, here we come...

If you're not 100% sure of what this is or how to use it, stay very far away. It gave me a 3 month long nightmare and there is ZERO support.
100% sure.
The only people you have to worry about is your government, and there are NO applications that they can't get around. Also under homeland security, software makers and communication companies have to share with them what ever they ask for.
So why are you using this ?
Paranoid about hackers. I'm not.
If you're using this because you're doing something wrong, you're going to get caught sooner or later.
This will just give you a false sense of security and cause you to be more wreak-less.
I find it's better to cover your ass to where it would hold up in court. Then no worries.

"If you're an existing PGP Desktop customer, you can launch PGP Desktop, navigate to the PGP menu, and select "Check For Updates" to determine if you're eligible for a free upgrade to version 9.9"
NO!
I have 9.83 running on an Intel driven by OSX 10.54 and PGP/Check for Updates is unaware of any update even though I would be entitled to it. (I'm fully paid-up and registered.)
For me, PGP is an essential tool. But PGP Corp is a terrible entity to deal with and their web site is appalling. I just spent an hour running all over it looking for any reference to an update or even any use of the word "Macintosh". And just try to contact them. It will ruin your day!
I think the VT mention of an update is either premature or fully-specious.
Even the app itself presents some difficulties these days to all but seasoned users. It wasn't always like that. I use it daily but I grump at it often.
Zimmerman, you knew not what you were doing when you put your baby out for adoption. It's been buggered about so much by greedy, lazy and stupid marketing types you would not recognize it these days.

they are verry slow in fixing buggs, respond of a problems takes up to weeks.
the softwre is ok but for example apple mail is not supportetd, so if you want to encrypt a email no chance in apple mail....
the even dont know what is snow leopard so dont expect a update to work in snow leopard
