    After reading i still don't understand the differences.

    The 4.47 can clean, but 4.8.7 can not.
    So apart from that what are the difference? Can the 4.8.7 only report? Can it delete as well? ( If so than what is the difference between delete and Clean )

    What about the engine? etc?

    And my Signature files always stay at 17/5 / 2005.......

    I also wonder if it is possible to design another GUI for it?

    I think the main difference is that versions after 4.4.7 can onlt detect, not clean or delete.

    Version 4.4.7 can be updated manually. If you're using a newer version, just download a new version whenever a new updated version is released. For example, their website currently says:

    I think updated versions are released about once per week.

    @Ned it is reversed, 4.4.7 Scans and Cleans, 4.8.7 only shows you what is infected and then tells you that you should buy eScan. ;)

    That's what I said - versions after 4.4.7 can only detect, not clean or delete :)

    May be RejZoR could make us a GUI for this?

    And i know why my signature hasn't been updated.... It is becoz it downloaded into another folder. So i just copy and paste into my orginal folder.

    I have been using 4.4.7 since about last December. I had a lot of trouble setting it up to scan/clean. After I got it set up it manually updates daily.

    Here is the thread where Firecat finally got me straight as to how to set it up. Once set up it is a snap.
    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=67183&page=1&pp=25&highlight=JerryM

    I recommend that you go through that thread, and I think you will find it fairly easy to set up. I had to go to the bases folder to get it working correctly. When Firecat is available he is now and expert after having to help me. :D
