I've used this for a few years now; always been great!
gayla-teqJuly 30, 2011
Pros
Easy to use - Customer support is quite reliable - Yearly fees for the Deluxe version are very reasonable - I've had great success with this program. I usually have a number of bids on the go and it's easy to keep track and see everything at once.
Cons
Only one downfall is not being able to snipe if my computer is turned off. I do wish that could be solved.
Summary
Overall I don't have any reason to change from this program. I've had thousands of sucessful bids and saved a bundle over the years too.
use caution most likely dangorous

Pros
What is there to like about the product other than its free
Cons
Can't uninstall the product!
Summary
Can't uninstall the product!, and very buggy, and hard to get rid off from computer even if you changed to a different anti virus software!
I haven't had any problems, so far so good.

Pros
Easy to download and trustworthy
Cons
When I open my computer I have a reminder every time to download new version even when I have. Please stop.
Summary
Should it not detect EICAR virus test file.
FixediskSeptember 1, 2009
Pros
Sounds good as all the hype says.
Cons
Installed, tested with Eicar virus test file. No virus alert when eicar.com test virus was opened. Removed DS.
Summary
Seems to block drive from writing, but what about reading your sensitive data?
Very lite and effective.

Pros
Just set it up and do one scan and that's it? Ive tested it against some nasty stuff and it blocked every one! No false positives so far? It's nice to see a product actually do what's advertised for a change!
Cons
Allot of popups at the beginning but it stops after you run all your programs. After that you don,t even know it's there. Won't let me run some of my trojan infested porn )~8
Summary
Great protection for a clean box! As for cleaning up a box after it,s infected? Couldn't tell ya? I stick to the tryed and trusted to do this! M-Bam & Superantispyware,Dr Webs Cure it! and HijackThis? Try it you can't go wrong it's free ya cheap basturds! (~8 Just a joke 8~)
FANTASTIC!!!!!

Pros
FREE! Real-Time Protection. Fast. Light!
Cons
On-Demand scan is painfully slow. Around 4 hours.
Summary
This program essentially replaces Comodo BOClean as the BEST Free Real-Time Antimalware available. BOClean is no longer available or supported as a standalone AM w/ Real-Time monitoring. This is NextGen Cloud Based Tri-Security. The perfect compliment to your AV. Program is only 2.6 MB. Small. Light. Accurate. Easy to understand. One strange thing. Full scan takes over 4 hours. Quick scan takes 11 minutes!! Odd. Anyway, most good AV will stop about 92% of infections. With Drive Sentry running in the background, the other 8% don't have a chance. You are essentially 100% protected. A good feeling. Wonderful product. If they would just add Buffer Overflow Protection to the program, it would be perfect.
great application.

laukobMarch 18, 2009
Pros
don´t slow your PC, simple use, good protection and detection, install and forget
Cons
slow support
Summary
This is a good product. I play online games, make online banking, download everything and i have had no problem. Once a week i test my PC with SuperAntispyware and on each occasion is all OK. DriveSentry+GesWall free = great combination
