[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 890652, member: 31436"] I just upgraded to the new version with Patch My PC. In the past when upgrading, I've got an alert from 360 asking me to confirm if I want to upgrade it. This time I got a more detailed notification, advising me to proceed with caution, as malware can launch the installer and then infect the system while the upgrade is being installed. The system will be very briefly unprotected while the upgrade is taking place. I did the upgrade on a second computer, so I could take a screenshot of the message, but I just got the usual upgrade prompt. The new message must have only been added to the previous version and this computer was been running an earlier version. I was using Panda from some time and I also don't recall ever getting alerts from its behaviour blocker. While my system was always malware free, I was very regularly installing software which should have been enough to trigger it from time to time. [/QUOTE]
