    "Really good antivirus software, but slows start-up."

    April 19, 2012  |   By dabuku1

    Pros

    - Easy to install
    - Very intuitive to use
    - Does the job

    Cons

    - My only complaint, or I would have given it 5 stars, is the software slows the start up of my system to a crawl while it updates virus definitions. It's very frustrating if you ever need to boot up and quickly check emails, because it will take at least two to three minutes which doesn't seem like very long - unless you're in a hurry and then it seems forever. I didn't have the problem with my prior anti-virus programs.
