    "Excellent 1 stop security package"

    May 31, 2010  |   By gargamel360

    Pros

    FAST scans, Built-in Browser-Friendly Sandbox, Boot-Time Scan, 3 PC License, Multiple Real-Time Shields, Low on Resources.

    Cons

    Slight lack of 64-bit function (no boot-scan, pointless behavior shield as it was designed for 32bit flaws).
    Light Sandbox bugs (flash elements sometimes fail to load).
    Sometimes has problems with Outlook. Firewall log bugs. Slow company support.

    Summary

    An honest review of a program I love. A bargain provided you have 3 pc's to install it on, otherwise competitively priced. 3 of the cons listed above (bootscan, Sandbox bugs, firewall log bugs) have scheduled fixes with the ver. 5.1 release.
    Its a small company, but with a swelling customer base, and they appear to have some adjustments to make with their customer service department.......imho; ) Still great software that covers multiple areas of defense, not 100%, no software does that. But this leaves alot less to add. Worth every penny to me.
