I’ve still got version 4.0.1154, can I update to 4.2 from the software or do I have to uninstall and download/install 4.2?

5

It’s a pre-beta so I think uninstaller - installing

Xan

6

It’s not a beta or alpha at all. SAS Team do their own internal alpha, beta testing, etc. This is more of a RC. It is very stable.

Yes, You need to uninstall & install the new pre-release.

Josh

7

do you have to use their uninstaller? have to do it in safe mode or shut down active processes before using it?

8

I think it’s the best you use there uninstaller. I donno of safe mode or not. I think normal mode will do…

Xan

9

There is no active process unless your using the Pro version. Just uninstall the old and install the new.

10

You will need to use the uninstaller on the pre-release page if you want to uninstall the pre.

The final version is out now!!! I saw it last night and they had a one night only deal where you can get the pro lifetime license for $19.95, so I brought it. :slight_smile: I figured I would help support them for that. :stuck_out_tongue: I can use real-time protection now, which is nice.

This topic will now live on as the discussion topic of SuperAntispyware and not only the pre-release version…

17

Sounds nice, maybe I will try as well.

18

4.20 is a good release. The new technologies introduced is promising.

SAS fared very well in this comparison test by Gizmo so it’s safe to assume the latest version will be even better.
