Consumer Feedbacks And Complaints

Actual Customer Feedback:

"...User friendly and efficient and doesn't slow your system down.. also like the intelligent scan feature..."

Portion of actual user comment from Download.com

"...Scanning is crap, intelli-guard is also rubbish (besides on spyware doctor which is better), updates are also so slow and very brittle and the detection of threats is awful..."
Portion of actual user comment from Download.com

"...Relatively fast scanning, only took just over half and hour to to do a complete scan which scanned multiple levels. The interface is good and I found it to be userfriendly. The updates where very fast and the sheild seems to be decent... this one wasn't that bad, but saying that it wasn't and that great. I'd suggest this software to a user who wants a moderate none invasive firewall antivirus combo. But for more experianced users who want more all round protection I would suggest others...
Portion of actual user comment from CBSNews.com

"...It seems to do an acceptable job of detecting and eliminating viruses, but it is very slow. The last scan I did took more than 4 hours compared to about 1 1/2 hours with other anti-virus software..."
Portion of actual user comment from Sofotex.com

"...It's now a nicely turned out bit of kit, automatic updates, schedulable scan, e-mail check and system shield. It no longer hogs your resources and so far on this re-run hasn't crashed things once. Combine that with ICSA & Virus Bulletin passes and it's now well worth a look..."
Portion of actual user comment from ReviewCentre.com

"..The freeware version works just fine for me. Just remember to do your smart updates at least twice a week..."
