    Hello, I represent developers.
    Blaxima, NOD32 has a false positive on this one. EPIM does not include any adware or malware.
    mchargue, You can download NON-U3 portable from our website.

    Like the app, but don't like that the portable version has to be installed on a 'U3'-compliant USB memory stick.

    Well this is a first. I've had my problems with this software but when it works its pretty good

    BUT Nod32 says;
    "http://downloads.essentialpim.com.s3.amazonaws.com/essentialpimport3.zip
    probably a variant of Win32/Statik potentially unwanted application connection terminated - quarantined Threat was detected upon access to web by the application."

    Its' probably some adware they have bundled but other things have adware and don't elicit this response and this never has either so....

    Still the same problem that I said earlier
    "I find random blank boxes for some of my repeating tasks.

    WTF!!!"

    and to think you can pay for this and get even more sh8 for your buck

    Well it seems I stand corrected. I said that it only showed blank boxes for my old databases but after redoing EVERYTHING in a new one I find random blank boxes for some of my repeating tasks.

    WTF!!!

    I have the same issue as Blaxima. The empty task boxes is so damn annoying. I also don’t like the new interface that much, but I guess that’s because I’m so used to the old v1.95 interface.

    I also liked some old v1.95 quirks, such as clicking on the calendar date and then using the arrow keys to scroll through the calendar with the tasks all displaying as change dates. The new version doesn’t have this quirk.

    My biggest problem however is the empty task boxes upon database conversion. This is such a big issue for me that I’m sticking with v1.95 until its v2.0 reaches about v2.5, by which time I’ve sure they will fix this problem.

    Good work on the new version, but its just not as fast and reliable as the old version. When I save and load from USB, the old version is so much faster, its easily noticeable.

    This has always been a 5 BUT when I load an old database it converts it with no troubles until I restart the program. The boxes for the tasks are there but no text and when I click them it has no info on the task. A mistake like that shouldn't be in an alpha version let alone a "finished" one.

    Works fine with databases it creates but no dice on my old ones, thanks alot
