  Pros

  Very effectively finds bots and malware, removes them after backing them up. Updates are easy, and frequent.

  Cons

  (1)You need to know what you are doing. You need to know what the things are that it is suggesting are malware, as they can be part of valid programs.

  (2)Couldn't remove everything with it, because to remove malware programs that are currently running, you must reboot and let the program startup on boot -- this made my system lockup every time.

  (3)Also, one time when I was examining my startup list with this program, there was a glitch and most of my startup list was deleted-- I had to system restore to fix it.
