"Secure!"
Version: DriveSentry Desktop 3.0.3
Pros
This software monitors ALL read and writes to my disk and lets me know when anything dodgy accesses my data. I like this a lot.
Cons
Some of its options look like they are written for engineers.

"Loving DriveSentry so far"
Version: DriveSentry Desktop 3.0.3
Pros
I love DriveSentry, although antivirus is a boring subject, we all need it. I just hope it doesnt let me down like my old AV.
Cons
the only thing i dont like is the tray icon, but it doesnt really bother me
-
"Innovative Antivirus product!"
Version: DriveSentry Desktop 3.0.3
Pros
Drivesentry has a massive virus database over 1 million. Light on system resources seems much faster than other A/V products I have tried. Very proactive detected a virus in a file I downloaded before AVG! Slick interface with really cool transparent infobar that gives me real-time feedback!
I highly recommend Drivesentry and I have now uninstalled AVG which slowed my PC down.
Cons
I had never heard about it till someone mentioned it to me. The program caused a few pop-ups for unknown programs but this has settled down. Doesn't has a built in internet firewall.

"Its protecting my system without too much hassle"
Version: DriveSentry Desktop 3.0.3
Pros
Once I installed drivesentry on my computer, I nearly forgot about it. But then I got one of its pop ups warning me about a serious attack! I had some other virus software on my computer that did not pick up on the virus!!!
Cons
When I first installed drivesentry , I got a load of its pop ups warning me about some of the programs I have on my computer but it has learnt that these are good applications now and drivesentry seems OK with them

"love it"
Version: DriveSentry Desktop 3.0.0.106

"DriveSentry is "ZoneAlarms" for drives"
Version: DriveSentry Desktop 2.1
Pros
The program installed easily and takes only 2mb on my disk. I had the software protecting my data within a minute and there's very few pop-ups as the program pre-determines trusted applications. DriveSentry is a unique concept at protecting data on drives. DriveSentry automatically protects removeable storage as you plug it in (e.g Ipods or USB keys). I really liked the advisor system which provides online advice about unknown programs. The software also features a very slick interface. For a first release it's a unique idea and creates a new genere of security product.
Cons
DriveSentry would be perfect if it featured a network firewall as I can then uninstall another program. I found that a few (rare) apps on my system were not listed in the online advisor system.
