Version: Advanced System Protector Personal Edition 2.0.323.1836
"Thorough. Easy to understand and use"
Pros: Finds TONS of threats. I clean PCs for friends that are un operable just for the challenge of getting them running like new and to learn. This program is a godsend.
Cons: Starts at boot by default. (Stoppable under Settings tab / Scan Settings) Deep scan takes a while to run. Updates are large.
Summary: I loved this program the first time I used it on a plugged PC. Ran 4 scans from other good programs and they found a lot of stuff. Then I downloaded/ran Advanced System Protector... 668 more nasty's. After that, the system ran like a top. Try it. Yo... read more

"As far as I am concerned it's a kind of malware itself"
Pros: Very attractive looking, with strong claims of effectiveness.
Cons: Cannot be stopped from launching with Windows.
Summary: Before installing this I researched it quite a bit. Intended use: manually perform a full scan once a week (otherwise protect my Vista laptop with other, always-on, antimalware programs). I saw one online writer use it exactly that way, so have been ... read more

"Looks & works good. System goes down, it looses it all!"
Pros: The way it looks, runs, gets updates & doesn't bog the system down either during a scan or update.
Cons: If the system goes down, it loses all the updates, settings and data!!! It can also get knocked out!!!
Summary: I like it and yet I don't like it because of it's "instability" at times. WHY does it lose it's updated data (signatures) and the like? It always goes back to the date it was installed, and doesn't "remember" anything after that! Strange. read more

Version: Advanced System Protector Personal Edition 2.0.323.1836
Pros: Even on "Quick Scan", it was not fast, but did not take 6 hours. It did find over 100 threats, but they were not "Severe" threats. Will do a complete scan later and see if it finds any "severe" threats. But it could mean that I am well protected.
Cons: So far there are not cons. There could be down the road, but for now as I said, unless you have an infection, you may never know how well something works.
Summary: Works pretty good read more
