Yes, I have it.

Must say, I like it much better. Now you can also run "Stealth mode" meaning: Stealth Mode uses randomized filenames and removes main window titles to evade so called "AV Killers". These are added on to Trojans and Worms to clear their path for infection by removing your defences. In this mode you will not see The Cleaner, TCActive! or TCMonitor in a normal task list although they will still appear in a process list.

You now have a Quarantine Manager.

I must say it scans much faster. Alltogether it's worth the price of the upgrade.

It also monitors registry/ini updates. You can add certain updates to an ignore list if you know they are safe.

FYI - no support for Win95 as MS doesn't support Win95 anymore.

Same here. I am using TC4 Pro. I like the Stealth mode, repair right-click shell extensions and the built-in Task scheduler Happy
