Hi *Paul

After I upgrade, Drweb couldnot run.
I go back to 4.28 now.

Anyone here upgrades successfully?

Hi netsonic,

Anyone here upgrades successfully?

Sure; upgrade worked like a charm. Did you perform the update using Spider/DrWeb?

regards.

I do not like this new trend to patch AV programs instead of coming out with an updated version. Too much chance for error in my opinion. *

Root, you can download completely new 4.28a version 3.5 MB, or you can only download patch (1MB).
