Hi,

I'm wondering about upgrading from version 2.00.6 - does anyone have any opinions on the current version 3.99.25?

I haven't visited the forum for ages, but it seems like version 4 has been 'just around the corner' for quite some time.

v2 runs okay for me, the only gripe I have with it is that when some updates are applied, it changes it's behaviour and I have to go into preferences | antivirus and delete the avast plugin because with that listed, the avast macro to insert messages to incoming and outgoing messages stops working.

e.g.
"avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
Virus database xxxx" etc

This gets added when the plugin is not listed, but stops working when the avast bav is shown.

Sort of thing that leaves you wondering if the scanner is working or not!

I installed v3.80.06 on another machine, but it still has the problem with the antivirus plugin listing preventing the avast macro from inserting messages.

To be honest, other than a new ugly splash screen and a customisable interface, I'm wondering what changes under the hood are going to make it worth upgrading?

Maybe I should just wait until v4 comes out and has received it's first patch (so it works)  

I'm using an xp machine and that is not likely to change for a while - so vista stuff means nothing for me.

Any thoughts appreciated...

Thanks.
