  1. Beta 3.1 a definite improvement over 3.0! Autoscan "berserk mode" seems to be solved. I'm still having a problem, though. I have autoscan scheduled to run every morning at 5am, but I have no way of knowing if it actually ran or not. Full scans of system don't generate logs, even when done manually. Checking "Scan History" on main page shows older logs that have turned up malware, but no logs showing a clean scan result. It would be nice to have it log ALL activity instead of just when it finds threats. Overall the program is coming along nicely, and even with its beta bugs is still light years ahead of anything else out there!
  2. Upgraded to beta 3.0 yesterday. There's a problem with automatic scanning - it scans when it wants to despite having it set to "Scheduled". And when it chooses to scan it's usually while I'm rebuilding video - a time of very intense CPU, bus and HDD utilization. It's supposed to scan only when the system is idle. I've been forced to disable it until this is resolved. Rebuilding video is dicey when anything else is placing a demand on the system, and with the encode times involved, I can't risk an error being introduced.
  3. Beta v 2.1 WinXP Pro/SP3 Advanced System Care also installed. Problems noted: Does not update Scan History log after initial scan on system, both with and without malware being detected. I had it set to run in Task Scheduler but I have no way of knowing if it ran successfully because it doesn't appear in Event Viewer. Security Holes tool hangs when trying to download security fixes from Windows Update. After I manually updated them, it doesn't recognize them as having been installed and tries again to download them. In Privacy Sweeper Options, where "Cookies To Keep" can be added, the sweep itself ignores the list of desirable cookies and wants to delete all cookies no matter what. On the positive side, after being a loyal customer of Webroot Spy Sweeper for many years, they up and cancelled my subscription after 3 months following my yearly renewal, and ignored any attempts to contact them. They've gone downhill at an amazing pace, judging by what others on the web have been reporting. I posted my dilemma on my forum and a member suggested IOBit. I downloaded it, and am really glad I did. It found 6 threats on my PC, 24 on my laptop, 7 on my wife's desktop, and 25 on her laptop ...all of which Spy Sweeper failed to detect. I'm happy with the speed, too. It does a Smart Scan on my quad-core in 2 minutes, and the full scan in about 7. Spy Sweeper, on the other hand, had taken 25 minutes to scan. You have an excellent product here, and I am doing my part to spread the word. There's a new kid in town - Security 360 - and he's kicking butt and taking names! :mrgreen: Edit: I forgot to mention - the program detected rogue.trojan in msvcp60.dll during a sweep and said it had fixed it, but it didn't. A while later I scanned again and again it detected it. I tried manually unregistering the .dll from regsvr and was unsuccessful. I had to boot to the other HDD, manually delete the .dll and expand the .dl_ file from the Windows CD and replace it. It's clean now, but I thought you should know.
