Be careful with this new version, seems to use a lot of resources so if you haven't got a great deal of memory it'll slow you down considerably apparently lots of bugs too see here

If you have a large amount of memory (over 2gig) you may be ok, I installed it on a friend's PC and it slowed it down to a crawl, also heard from a friend down south that it had some the same to his. If you have to install it I would uninstall the old version first before attempting to install the new one, you shouldn't have to but apparently it works better if you do, I uninstalled hers today and put Avast on and things are back to the speed they were

Nice to hear that warning, it USED to be one of the best for low resource useage, I don't have a worry in memory (4gb) but I like to keep useage to a minimal as a gamer..

thanks for the heads up....

I know maybe they'll sort it out, it's a shame as I know loads of people who have it and have stuck with it over the years, there are lots of post on PC advisor (int the helproom) about it too
