    After downloading beta1 yesterday, I see beta2 today... Downloaded the superdat Beta2eng5000 and it says "already have the latest engine installed"

    I have seen a small speed increase on this pc with viruscan enterprise and beta1, but did not subscribe to the mailing list right off to see if there were special instructions for beta2 after beta1....

    Errrrrrrrr and in what way is this software?????

    EDIT:
    Quote: "It's easy to upgrade; just replace your existing Engine with the new version and you're protected."

    This is not a piece of software - it is an element or aspect of some other original piece of software. It just updates 'part' of a completely different piece of software.

    It's like saying we've updated one segment of an orange - just replace it. But they haven't updated the orange itself. Poor analogy I know but apt.
