Well it appears that my issue with SecuritySpy crashing on launch has been resolved with out resulting to a hard drive restore. In preparation for the restore I ran DiskWarrior over the drive and repaired the permissions. I do this religiously before I run a restore to make sure there are no issues with the drive before I run the restore. I then always boot the volume back up to see if the issue was resolved by the diagnostic repair. Much to my surprise SecuritySpy 1.6.2 launched. With all settings in place. This really is a fantastic piece of software that I highly recommend. It is the most affordable and functional security surveillance software available for the Mac and has been for many years. It has become a Mission critical piece of software for our business. So no restore required. I noticed there were some strange privilege issues which DW repaired. Disk Warrior is another piece of software that we could not do with out.
