Yes, I would just install Virus Blocker though to replace it.

You can see when your subscription expires in config->system info->licenses.

Ahh that makes sense, both boxes don't expire for several months yet.

The Kaspersky module is no longer supported. At a certain point in the future, the module will cease to function simply due to it not being compatible with Untangle any longer.

If you have it, now is a good time to remove it just to save yourself some upgrade headache's later.

You are licensed for one or the other, not both. If you have a Kaspersky license (or premium) that runs until 2014, you may continue to run Kaspersky.

You are not entitled to run Virus Blocker w/the commtouch engine until your Kaspersky subscription renews.

It may very well allow you to at present, but it won't for much longer.

I see so what you are saying is a future update will make it one or the other? I guess I will remove the Kaspersky now if this is somehow going to block my access to the commtouch engine as people have been saying it is better.
