"I really didn't like this, it's overprotective"
Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.53
Pros
The program does a good job of detecting software running too good of a job if you ask me.
Cons
The bad part is that it dectect every program that runs on your computer and tells you that its spyware and keeps nagging you to death everytime you run a program that it doesn't know what it is and tells you that its a threat to your system it even reports Notepad, and the command window a threat this program is just totally paranoid software

"NO viruses in 2 years."
Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.53
Pros
I have not had a virus in about 2 1/2 years using Threatfire and even better with the added tool of Registry mechanic PC Tools has proven to be an asset to me and my business. I highly recomend Threatfire for realtime control and virus blocking. It's easy to use, has a few different options for deeper scan if you think you have a problem.
Cons
It would be nice if it were a little faster.
Summary
I have no problem using Threatfire even in commercial applications.

"Solved the rootkit Virus"
Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.53
Pros
I tried every popular FREE antivirus and anti spyware you can think of and none of them could get rid of the rootkit virus. Several of them would identify it, some would say they were deleting it, Avast even did a boot scan and removal. But once the computer restarted the virus was still there. I read that Threatfire used a different technology and could specifically get rid of this type of thing. It worked, I was going to reinstall my computer which had even been suggested on some help sites because this kind of thing was very hard to get rid of.
Cons
I don't know how well it works for other viruses and spyware but I dont need it for that anyway. Other programs have worked for me. matter of fact it seems certain antivirus are good for specific issues that others dont work. Malwarebytes which use to be the champion has really gone downhill (hasn't solved my last 3-4 issues at all)!
Summary
I needed a product to address a specific problem and it sure did!

"Hands Down Best Ever! If you learn how to use it."
Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.53
Pros
OK... This is all you will ever need for AV Software if you have a Baseline backup software > This one is FREE and works > read all documentation before using it.(http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/Comodo-Time-Machine.shtml.) DO NOT SURF THE NET WITHOUT A BACKUP SOLUTION ON YOUR PC. That said, this needs to be setup correctly and is very customizable. Set sensitivity level to 4. Setup all your trusted programs in the advanced tools > custom rule settings > process lists. Don't be fooled by all the AV garbage out there. This one is for real. Learn it and know your computer. Learn how to clean up your computer and back it up for a quick restore. I simply cannot say enough good about this FREE app. with free manual updates. You don't even need to update it for it to do it';s primary job! Thank you PC TOOLS! Get it before it's gone.
Cons
NONE - It's FREE and it works.
Summary
I think you get the picture. The only problems you could have with it are the ones you create. Educate yourself on your computer and OS.

"Light and Proactively Aggressive"
Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.53
Pros
Quicker than most free anti-virus apps I've used. Very regular updates. Root-kit aware (somewhat uncommon among freeware). Interface isn't overbearing, either.
Cons
None worth mentioning, so far.
Summary
For a free app, I find this to be a very strong performer. And being free, it's worth trying out. If you don't like it, uninstalling it isn't as big a hassle as other apps. Win-win situation, I'd say.
