Nowadays, a good firewall and antivirus should always be bought
i disagree, sygate, keiro, and antivir are superior to most of the non freeware programs i have used.
I agree with what everyone is saying. I use antivir myself - full-time. But what we have here is an excellent 'backup' scanner as Anti-vir or any other virus program is not going to catch all things at all times. I keep antivir running, and I do a full scan with this scanner once a week to 'double-check'. It is not a resident scanner so I don't have to worry about conflicts from two AV's on the same system as some people have.
Being the geek I am, if this program reports to me I have a virus - I'm going to look up manual removal instructions anyhow, or use a plethora of freely available removal tools - or back up and reformat (depending on the severity).
As I think I said in the OP - this is not a newbie friendly thing. You have to run a .com file to start it. Most ppl don't even know what a .com file is. You have to double click another program that opens a dosbox to update it.
If you know what you are doing, don't have the cash or inclination to use a product without a license, and you want the benefit of having one of the best AV's engine double check your resident full time scanner periodically - then this is a great deal for now - operative word being free.
