  Overall Evaluation: I've had this program for quite a while but never got around to setting it up -- and it's a good thing I didn't. I came in to work one morning and noticed that all of my subscription services had expired, which was strange because none of them were due for renewal. The reason was my computer's system clock. It had somehow set itself a year ahead, so all of my software thought it was 2008! It's never done that before nor has it since. Luckily I'd never set up Dead Man's Switch or lots of people would've gotten a bad surprise when they opened their email and lots of my files would be gone! Once again, procrastination saves the day. lol
