I bought the Personal Pro version several months ago without ever using the Personal version, so I can't compare. They were running a sale and I got it for about $80. I have been very pleased with it. Occasionally after an automatic update my keyboard input will slow for a few minutes--I assume Kaspersky is running an automatic scan using the new virus signatures then. Since I use my computer only for personal enjoyment, this occasional slow-down is not a problem for me. Kim, I thought it might help you in making your comparison to know the subfolders that are in my Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro folder. There are 10: Control Centre, Mail Checker, Monitor, Rescue Disk, Scanner, Script Checker, Updater, Inspector, Office Guard, Virus List Generator. You could see if these are the ones in your personal version. I do use the plug-in. It works seamlessly--I have it configured for both incoming and outgoing mail. I have it configured to ask before taking action. The only times I have had any indication of its presence were the couple of viruses that it caught--the last one was So Big, which came in on a trusted list but was easily deleted. That screech sound effect will certainly get your attention! -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
