Thanks, Leo!

This is a good utility.

One thing (free) to add... if you're infected (and that hampers your ability to run your antivirus), there's an app called Chameleon available from Malwarebytes which will allow you to access and/or download and install/run Malwarebytes software.

I like this app but these 'big' updates make me nervous.

SmartDefrag's 'big' update added the ability to update itself AND throw in a bunch of crap like toolbars, etc. that you're only lucky to catch and stop.

Avast, which has long been a favorite of mine, has expanded browser cleaning, software updating, browser monitoring, rescue disks, etc. I don't want to knock Avast, but I have to admit I was more comfortable when all they did was anti-virus for your PC and not all this other stuff. They've also started getting a little heavy handed with the pop-ups trying to get you to try the full version or tell you you need to uodate software they have nothing to do with.

I'll download Malwarebytes new version for sure but I hope they aren't going the way of other apps.

Really good find Leo. UI is clean and it runs much faster. Also it allows you to run a trial of the Pro version.
