Anyone made the upgrade? What do you think?

File size is much smaller, I seem to remember 1.46 installer being ~30mb. I think it's even less expensive now too, is the scanning and program response time really much quicker?
-
I bought my version a while back - scans are fast (quick scan takes about one minute on my system).
Like the active protection mode and auto-update features with teh paid version.
For me it was worth the price. -
I see a 90-100% increase in scan speed (Quick scan).
Very nice improvement.
The website mentions for v1.50 ( link);
1. Dramatically improved scan speed: up to 5 times faster.
2. Dramatically improved stability of both the scanner and protection module (paid version only).
3. More responsive: program loads up to 3 times faster, and protection module has lower impact on system resources (paid version only).
4. New internal detection algorithms enable detection of more real-world malware.
Stability and loading the program have never been an issue in my case.
I use the free version so I can't judge the ' protection module' improvements. -
Well I put the free MBAM 1.50 on my mom's computer (XP SP3) because her ESET license expires tomorrow. A scan (took f o r e v e r) found some MyWaySa and Minbug crap. Eset found nothing.
EDIT: Just installed and did a scan on my computer too. Took literally over half the time for a full scan, just over 14 minutes when it normally needs about 35. Nice job MBAM. -
I've been using 1.50 since they released the beta for download and i've noticed it's improved a lot overall. I haven't compared the realtime protection modules yet, however scan speed and reliability is much better.
