As I've had nothing but problems with Plesk and support seems none existant, I've changed my Control Panel solution to Helm. Instantly, all my problems are resolved.
Goodbye Plesk, forever!

You right, Plesk still has a lot of problems.
They shoul resolve all this bugs before launch news version
Protected folders didn't work?3. Lack of any Secure Folder solution.
Which port settings?5. Very awkward to change port configuration without having to adjust most other modules such as phpmyadmin. Helm just requires one setting change.
Have you tried changing or adding a listening port for the control panel? The Plesk cp basically runs on its own copy of apache with it's own settings which can be changed. Last time I checked, listening was only setup on 8443, but I would assume you could add another port for non-secure? Usually 8080 is the default standard alternate port, but this is currently used by tomcat. I would think you could use something else though.6. The fact that Plesk insists on running on secure server (SSL certs aren't cheap you know just to host a control panel). This should be optional.
Most cp's don't have a built in signup script from what I've seen. So far, the only ones I've seen that do this are helm and h-sphere. Every other control panel I've used requires a 3rd party billing system to generate signup pages. Most don't overlap businesses and only provide the control panel.7. No built in auto-signup script (quite a serious ommision if you're using it for a hosting company, and no, I'm not paying for HSPComplete to gain this function when Helm give it away completely free bundled within the control panel (besides, HSP only runs of Unix boxes and mines an NT server).
From what I hear, dr web isn't the best solution anyway and it's only a 15 mailbox free license. Most control panels don't add antivirus automatically and require this to be an additional 3rd party software anyway. It's not too tough to install something else which is what most hosts do anyway.9. The lack of any integrated Anti-Virus support! Where is Dr.Web for Windows?
EDITED - I just checked, it looks like Dr Web is available now, but it's too late, the other problems put me off Plesk enough to dump it anyway.
