Publisher's description of V3 Pro

From Wise Network:

System monitoring and Internet monitoring provided in V3Pro 2004 thoroughly shut off viruses, worms and Trojan from streaming in by monitoring all streaming paths (Internet, network, or floppy disk) of viruses in 24-hours-a-day-real-time background mode. In particular, Internet monitoring provides detection and cleanup feature for all protocols (HTTP, FTP, e-mail (POP3 and SMTP), Telnet, and NNTP) and Internet mail formats (UUencode, BASE64, and MIME).

Editor's review of V3 Pro

• 4.0 stars

• "V3 Pro"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: V3 Pro 2004

This program offers a number of features to protect your system against viruses, but doesn't offer firewall, spam, or other tools for comprehensive system security. V3 Pro 2004's cleanly designed interface is easy to navigate and offers scanning and real-time monitoring of your system, the Internet, your start-up programs, and e-mail. You can scan your hard drive, floppy disks, and CD-ROMs and create a custom list of areas to be scanned. Although the program is preset to conduct a weekly scan, you can set your own scan schedule, and it logs each scan so you can easily review results. We especially liked the Security Warning Report that analyzes your system for possible security weaknesses and indicates potential areas of concern. During our tests, the program didn't cause any sluggishness during the scans and results were provided in a way that was simple enough for even the novice to understand. With its easy setup and intuitive design, V3 Pro 2004 is a nice addition to any user's arsenal of security tools, as long as you don't expect it to handle every security issue.

  "Great Lightining fast antivirus software"

  by GermanH on April 12, 2005

  Pros: FAST, easy to use, fullfeatured, quick update of new viruses, uninstalls easily

  Cons: Can't buy it online, becomes a bit intrusive (only during start-ups) when the trial expires

  "very inclusive analysis"

  on September 30, 2004

  Summary: Ahn Labs is Korean (I believe) based in Los Angeles. Inexpensive to buy and not perfect but will keep my system "clean"

  "Glorified SPYWARE!!!! DO NOT INSTALL (if you have a choice, unlike me)"

  by sdw2b0 on April 4, 2005

  Pros: Easy to use. So easy, in fact, that it doesn't ask your permission to install/configure itself, and takes the liberty of re-installing itself after any uninstall attempts.

  Cons: Somehow this got on my computer after visiting a Korean website (a totally legit University site). IMPOSSIBLE to get off my system. Whenever I uninstall, it immediately starts reinstalling itself. All my anti-spyware stuff doesn't recognize it. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
