"CA antispyware is impressive"
Version: Yahoo Toolbar with Anti Spyware 7.1
Pros
The toolbar works nicely and is simpler to adjust and edit in its newer version but more impressive is the free AS which works. I have a few weapons in the arsenal but this little ap has found and removed a few baddies others have missed..
Cons
I have had to reinstall on occasion.
Summary
Free CA anti-spy which updates is a big plus to this very useful program. It has caught a trojan, two toolbar nasties, and much adware and cookies other heavy hitters have missed. It also tells you if need a possible deep scan. The quick scan takes seconds.

"Works great, but..."
Version: Yahoo Toolbar with Anti Spyware 7.1
Pros
Customizable (add-on) is nice, most are what I want.
Cons
Anti-Spyware does not have a discontinue command on Toolbar to avoid conflicts if you wish to run another Anti-Whatever program.
Summary
Add an ID name of the running Anti Spyware on a drop-down menu and a one-click deactivation.

"I got AVG with my Yahoo I was totally blow away on it!"
Version: Yahoo Toolbar with Anti Spyware 7.1
Pros
As for the question of the speed of the scan,it's very efficient and the fastest scans from AVG is the reason why! It's only real time protection that makes the different.
Cons
None that I'm Aware of,but you must config if you want to get the full in pack of the AVG with Yahoo.
Summary
I've used so many different antivirus programs,but each AVG gets better and better.I got it on a deal from newegg.com,and I haven't been sorry at all.Once this program is setup,you truely don't have to worry about where you go on the web.Plus after config is done properly there isn't anything to be worried about.Yahoo.com has come a long way,but now that you can add AVG to the mix it's far better.

"Not so much....."
Version: Yahoo Toolbar with Anti Spyware 7.1
Pros
Easy enough to download and deploy and even uninstall....
Cons
problem is it failed to realized I HAD updated stuff and kept trying to get me to update it despite restarts, changing /editing etc... SO NO I am Not keeping it. It should have realized some basic things that i did update when it told me to...
Summary
If the goal was to keep up to date on my software, then it didn't meet the goal therefore it was of NO value to me. So I cannot rate it well since it didn't perform its most central/ core component...
