Here's a few troubles that I've had with the new beta:
1. No antivirus settings entry
2. text in the "Scan Settings" page truncated
3. text in the "Spyware Doctor Network" page under settings is truncated
4. text in the "Start Scan" - "Select the type of scan to run on your computer" page is truncated
5. Attempting a "Custom Scan" without a disk in a DVD drive results in multiple "No Disk" errors which eventually will disappear, but is annoying.
6. If a CD is not inserted into the drive, it is not available to select for scanning afterwards. You can back out of "Start Scan" and insert the disk and try again but it is clumsy.
7. Scanning a CD - if cancel is chosen at the end of the scan, no log is stored. I did not want to see what happened if SD tried to remove viruses from a CD.
8. Short of taking a screen shot, the information on the scan report cannot be copied easily - as in copy and paste. This becomes necessary when no log file is created.
9. Possible Antivirus false positive on Bart PE's files :
AntiVirus Detected Files (2 infections)
File
novirus:Packed/eXPressor detected in E:...\PRELOGON:EXE
novirus:Packed/eXPressor detected in E:...\PRESHELL:EXE
Trojan.Spy.Banker.AEC (1 infection)
File
E:\PROGRAMS\FloppyRepair\FloboFloppyRepair.exe
No infections were found by McAfee on a web scan and the antivirus software I was running before I installed PCTools AV (Avast!) did not report any infection either. Sorry for the lack of a screen shot, but I didn't want to spend the time to figure out my screen capture software just now.
