"The nag screens would not go away. Frustrating"
Pros: It worked OK, but no auto update feature when I used. Did good on scans; worked well on a friends PC, which did have malware, which it did clean. User interface was good; easy to work with.

"Best free anti-virus around. Liked it enough to buy."
Pros: Excellent customizable protection, effective, easy to use, customizable scheduling. You can set up times to update and when to scan, what type of scan, and on and on. Non-intrusive functionality and a nice GUI.
Cons: None. Some people complain about the ad to upgrade to a paid version you get after the updates. I think that's silly to complain about since this is a free program. I'll gladly close a window once a day to be able to use this great software for free
Summary: Very effective, very customizable. There are other free tools on their site that compliment this one. My Kasperski subscription ran out, and I had used this on other people's computers recently. I liked it so well that I did not go back to Kasperski.... read more
