Har-Bal Users Forum BBS

See the thread in the Technical forum - McAfee have updated their definitions and HarBal (or it's copy protection regime) is no longer treated as if it is a virus.

Yes I can confirm that HarBal 1.5 instals and works fine after installing the latest McAfee virus definitions.

Your idea for adding compensation for a user's room/speaker combination is a great one Paavo. I hope you do pursue that one. If Robert is still following this thread, whether to buy active speakers depends on what he wants to use them for. If he was talking about hi fi, then as I'm sure you know the...
