Well i have to say SD4 was a brilliant piece of software.. but this latest release is just complete junk. Not only does firefox now run damn slow when accessing sites where previously SD4 had no issues, now my Utorrent refuses to work and the PC generally feels like it just had both legs cut off and a steel rod impaling it to the ground. SHOCKING!

How on earth did this even get released, after reading many posts in this forum (and thanks for the tips).. i have fully uninstalled this garbage and reinstalled version 4.

This product seriously needs to be sorted pronto and put back into Beta before it seriously has an impact on sales and pr. I know PC can pull this off after using SD4.

We are all waiting, especially us the Vista users. PC tools must find 'workarounds' to exclude extensions like .cache and .logs since Vista generates them like crazy. It also makes me wonder how SD5 runs real-time protection when Windows Defender is also running real-time. Two apps running real time may lead to all sorts of problems. :mad:

There is real danger in trying to 'over protect' you PC with multliple programmes that do the same thing. Certainly the IT professionals will advise extreme caution as you could end up with corruption problems as well as general slow-down. When its working properly, SD5 with Antivirus should be all thats needed and is much more effective than Defender. In the meantime SD4 with Avast anti-virus, as some have suggested, is probably as good as it gets
