    "Not Worth Free Trial"

    February 20, 2012  |   By Mrzozo

    Pros

    Removes tracking cookies

    Cons

    Very week as an antivirus. Active protection kept making my computer crash everytime I opened a folder. Active protection kept making my browser crash. I had to continuously reboot my computer after every couple clicks. Thought I got trojan or virus and once I removed the program my computer was fine. Crappy antivirus and malware bytes can be used for cookies which is less ontrusive to your system.

    Summary

    Don't waste your time with it. Avast and AVG are much better. Heck, I don't even like Norton but even that is a superior choice to this.
