I have used SD4 and now using SD5 .177 on my daughter's PC.
I would like to inform you that the resposiveness of the PC becomes very dramatic. My daughter's PC is a P-III, 384Mb machine with XP Pro SP2. Zonelabs free firewall, AVG Anti-Virus are started up very fast, but SD5 .177 really take some time to start and also sometimes "hangs". I needed to stop and start the two spyware doctor services. As SD5 is still under development, would it be possibe to "lightnen" up the package as I guess there are still a lot of people out there who don't have super charged PC's with a lot of GHz proc's and Gb's of memory? And no, I'm not going to buy such a PC yet..... ;)

Hi
I would advise sticking to SDv4 on that machine. Its protection is still very good and your other software will prevent everything else!
