"Security Risk - DO NOT DOWNLOAD this anti virus software!"
Version: PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition 3.1
Pros
Nice interface
Cons
Software very unstable. Whatever you DO NOT DOWNLOAD -MESSED UP MY COMPUTER. straight forward installation but immediately comes with an error. when you try to uninstall it disconnects your internet connection. Only got round this problem this morning (4 June 2007, 07.05am)by reinstalling to get internet connection. Whiles installed I am getting error messages from the the software. This is a major flaw in the software. Whatever you do DO NOT downlaod it. NOT RECOMMENDED!
