Incidentally, since the upgrade, the voice quality has gotten really poor and I'm very glad that I can still use an ATA as the reception is perfect going through different hardware.

MJ Upgrade and Firedaemon
After the recent upgrade, I noticed that even though Firedaemon can still be used to run MJ as a service ( no window, popups, softphone, etc), since the upgrade, if I stop magicjack.exe process under Firedaemon, it is still running. I had to 3 finger salute and stop process from Task manager in order to completely get it out of memory and "hear" no dialtone which it did not do pior to the upgrade.

Sounds like MJ is running via a startup cdloader entry in the registry.
Check out HKEY_Current_User, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and make sure the cdloader entry does not exist. If it does then remove it and reboot.
Also make sure the upgrade went into the right place. I run mine as a service in the all users area. If I manually run the update while I am logged in as Administrator, it makes the update in the Administrator folder. If it made it in the wrong directory you should stop all MJ processes and move the files to the right place. Then you can restart your service.

CDloader reg entry has always been disabled but running the magicjack icon must have put it back again. I deleted it and now my dongle sits on a shelf for the next time I need it to authenticate SIP credentials again. With the way things have been lately, however, I would not be surprised if they decide to have magicJack.exe stay in memory no matter how many time you try to kill it's PID.
