Here is the email that was sent out earlier today regarding the update to Ninja as it will now be called VIPRE Email Security:
Product Notification: Ninja Email Security to VIPRE Email Security for Exchange Upgrade Date: August 24, 2009 Product: Ninja Email Security Version: All 2003 and 2007 Ninja versions Current versions of Ninja Email Security have supported two antivirus (AV) engines from third-party vendors: BitDefender and Authentium. Our relationship with one of these vendors, BitDefender, has come to an end. As a result, we cannot guarantee definition updates from BitDefender after the end of August. To address this issue, we have been working to integrate the VIPRE AV engine and will be releasing an updated product by the end of the month. In addition, the product is being renamed to VIPRE Email Security for Exchange. For those customers that are running the BitDefender AV engine, the upgrade process will make the necessary changes to replace the BitDefender engine with the VIPRE engine components. Note that the Authentium engine is not affected by this change and will continue to function correctly; there are no plans to remove the Authentium engine at this time. The release is currently available for download through Product Updates <http://updates.sunbeltsoftware.com/> . For continued AV protection, it is important that all customers upgrade to this latest release.

I didn't get one either.

Did you see that email yesterday?

If you have done the upgrade, is there any change to the workload on the server? I just wanted to get some feedback before I run the upgrade tonight.
