        Fixed now.

        As with previous snort binary upgrades, make sure you uninstall completely and then reinstall to ensure you have the correct set of files/packages.

          thank you much!
          i've already uninstalled, manually removed the …/snort folders and reinstall...
          It's working fine WITHOUT snort (free account) rules- i have just the Emerging Threats enabled AND 'Enable Sensitive Data' preprocessor unchecked.
          I guess i'll have to wait a bit, looks like the free snort rules are not yet compatible with this release.
          Thanks again!
