Look this update is great! First of all works a bit faster than before. Second: I had some troubles before, mainly cause connect wasn't operative at my country and there were no way to get rid of it even when you couldn't use it. Besides the stupid centralized system for the right management and computer access had turned my pc at work useless for the NWHD3 just by changing the motherboard (I know is a major change, but there's no place where it's stated that you got to delete your registered pc before changing some part of it cause even when the IP is the same the codes sent to sony doesn't match anymore, so using a PC at home and anther at work had taken 4 of my possibles computers authorized, and the technical service didn't help in anyway), and now it's gone!!! GREAT! So i wouldn't have to be worried about how many pc's of mine are authorized before my pc become useless. I think this all have to do with the problems with the rootkit. Even when I rea dthe answer that this has nothing to do with the sonic stage... I read what sysinternals posted and I become aware of the filtering system that possessed your CD after installing the version 3.2, so ok, maybe is not a rootkit, but I never had thought my system has degraded performance because of the filtering layer at the cd... mmm if anyone know better I would gladly appreciate the info. Try this version, is really better than the older one.
