Re: Verizon DSL and MSN 8 Just to let you guys know about Verizon and MSN 8 (Now version 9). In order to get version 9 now you have to do a little trick. If you have MSN 8 installed from Verizon CD it will not let you upgrade to version 9 just yet. You can get around this by just uninstalling Verizon/MSN 8's co branded version and doing a web install of MSN 8 software from MSN.com. When you log in with your already merged hotmail email address and password, it will still let you log in. It still knows you are a verizon customer. Once the MSN.com home page opens, go to this URL »membercenter.msn.com/ (I tried to go here with the Verizon MSN 8 installed and it would not work, but it might with you), if you can get to this page it gives you the option to download newest version MSN 9.
With the new version you are able to download McAfee Personal Firewall plus and Viruscan for free which will work on your system wether you use MSN9 or not, just keep it installed. With the new outlook connector it now converts your Hotmail accounts to MAPI accounts that you can use with outlook. I don't use MSN 9 at all on my system, just downloaded it for the the firewall software, but for those that use it, might have some cool features. NOTE: It has some issues if you are running XP SP2 Beta on your system. | |

I just went to membercenter.msn.com, logged in with my @msn email address that I created when I installed the verizon MSN software, and clicked the download the software link. Ran into a problem installing it, but I think that was cos of my firewall and privacy software, not cos of the Verizon MSN 8.
