Have signed up to test the new release.

If you want to try this new version click this Link.

Technology Changes

* Scan time is now 30% - 40% FASTER in all scanning modes
* Rootkit detection and removal ability has been drastically increased
* Reboot not required if only cookies are detected during the scan
* Real-Time (Professional Only) and In-Memory Scans allow unlimited size to cache large installers and items that unpack to large memory images
* Resolved issue in SASSEH.DLL where the COMODO Firewall would send inordinately long strings and crash most Shell Execute Hooks
* Detected items verified to make sure they are not part of the core/original Windows installation - this ensures that no system/core components can be removed should a false-positve happen, or a malware application tries to rename/spoof items inorder to "trick" the scanner into removing a critical component (we have observed this). This feature works on Windows 2000 and above only. i.e. not on Win98/ME
* Shortcuts now use standard shortcuts instead of Windows Intaller self-healing shortcuts to allow running when the Windows Installer Service (safe-mode) is not running – repair shortcut added to programs menu to repair the installation should it become corrupt – this applies to new installations only

The scanning time really needed a speed boost!
Also the shortcuts being standard will be nice because in order to change the default icons I had to make my own standard shortcuts.

Wrong thread maybe? (joke. )
The latest version of SAS is 3.2.1026. They are offering this pre-release but you have to register at their forum and wait to be "approved".

Tried out the new version which looks and feels much the same.

Scan speeds are roughly 30% faster on my machine.

No conflicts with Kav or Comodo f/w or any other probs ATM.

Used as on demand here.
