    Absolutely 100% improvement over build 2.5.1043,with a lot better & easier g.u.i and the biggest problem that has been Sunbelts bugbear - the updates - has been addressed with outstanding results , two minutes to download and merge the definitions from zero to the current [which also checks every two hours now by default] Along with integration into Windows Security Center a lot quicker scanning times , and of course excellent removal of malware/trojans etc. including boot time scan to kill rootkits for a mere $20 dollars [after a 15 day free fully functional trial if you so desire] this has got to be the best value security software on the market , period. Try it today - you won't be disappointed.

    I hate people who rave about a product because it caught ONE malware item, or who slam a product because it missed ONE malware item. There is no product that catches everything.

    As far as CounterSpy goes, I found it to be about as easy on my system as Crysis.

    You alls can rate it a 5. I'll rate it a 4. Vipre blows this out of the water. However, with Vipre, you would need to uninstall your AV. This is only a AntiSpy program (AS).

    So if you have no Anti-Virus software, or Anti-Spyware program on your computer, then I suggest Vipre. The protection on their software is set at a high-level, though I would still say it's a joke.

    Before Vipre, I used Avast!, also a highly aclaimed Anti-Virus program, along with Counterspy. CounterSpy missed a back door Trojan, that Avast! took care of. That is why I am very sceptal about their software. But alas, I went vipre.

    If you don't heed my advice, you could be spending over $40 dollars. Still I am impressed with Vipre.

    Enjoy...
    Peace...

    Great Product.

    Pros: Very high detection rates, frequent updates.

    Cons: When getting updates it can slow your computer and require restarts.

    I own this product and it came off my system, because it slowed things to a crawl. I can do without the constant interruptions.
