It's pretty good, but not free. Just giving out the update for those that use it.

Has anyone tried it? Where did all my ESET fanboys go?

I'm going to stick with 4.0.474 for a month or so and let the dust settle before I upgrade...:)

I have tried the new version. Did not notice any change.

From the posted change-log it's all bug fixes. If you weren't having problems there wouldn't be anything to notice.
