Hello,

I have the demo from Panda, and I absolutely love it!

It definitely uses less resources on my computer, and it
does complete the full scan way faster. But most of all,
it seems to be very stable. Not as many features for the
same price, but I'll take the stability anyday!

I think I'm going to try the demo for another week or so,
and if all is well, I'll pay my $70 and keep if for good.

Thank you for the recommendation! Very much appresiated

Fred
