Version: A-squared Free 4.5
"It's free, easy, and does what it says. ?"
Pros: I've used this product for several years now, and have never had a problem with it.
Cons: It's a little slow, and uses alot of RAM. It's best to run this when you're not trying to do a whole lot else.

"Very good. Found threats AVG Internet Security missed."
Pros: Thorough scan. Free. Finds where others miss. Good at what it does. Good stand alone scanner for use as and when needed.
Cons: No realtime protection, so best used as and when. Not a substitute for commercial alternatives, but does find things that they miss. Can't fault it really.

"It's Had It's Day In The Sun"
Pros: Free, that's about it.
Cons: WAAAAY Too Slow!
Summary: A-Squared used to be really good, but the past year it went straight downhill. It's just ridiculous now. Takes 20 minutes just to download updates and 3 hours to do a full scan! It didn't used to be that way, but in any case, I got rid of it. I L... read more
