Pros
Nothing. This thing will destroy your system if you let it.
Cons
First off when it finds something it doesn't like the prompt comes up in russian. (Yes i had the language set to english.) If you change the settings to automatically delete if it can't clean it will wipe out system files since there is no quarantine included. Which they fail to mention upon installation. <p>Secondly it finds fake viruses to make it look like its actually doing something. I have three computers using McAfee and AVG on two of them which i use to network scan so i know im virus free. Yet when i installed this on my Gaming computer to do a quick scan since its a standalone without background services it found what it claimed to be over 300 viruses. <p>AVOID THIS PROGRAM. I would assume that the reason it only got good reviews is because any one that would have given it a bad review is busy reinstalling windows.

Pros
This software has come through for me everytime. It able to detect viruses that my virus software failed to detect or removed. I have had used McAfee, Kaspersky and Trend Micro which they all unable to locate viruses from my PC. Only ArcaMicroScan able to root out these bad bugs. I highly recommend this free software to everyone. Thank you ArcaBit. <p> <p>Pennsylvania, <p>Ahn

Summary
Easy to use and very comprehensive AV program.
tgsmithJune 23, 2007
Pros
Ranks right up there with the top three free AVs (AVG, Avast, Trend Micro). Heuristics scanning of files may be the best I've seen. I would have no problem recommending this software to those "active" web users who like to "peek" into the dark corners of the Internet. If one can't resist temptation, then use this protection.
Cons
Language interface needs some work.

Found 3 worms and fixed up my computer!

Pros
I can't say enough about this awesome free product. Please know that I try to do as much research about a program before downloading it and am usually tentative because of adware and spyware being bundled in or the product just screwing up your computer and making it worse etc. I wish more people would post reviews after downloading so we can all use caution and have a better idea of what we should download. I was not to sure on this one because I couldn't get enough solid info on it. So, if this helps one person in the future it makes this community that much better. <p> <p>In any case, this program found 3 worm.warezov viruses with 3 different extentions in my files and it deleted them!Now my computer hard drive now does not thrash anymore and my computer is extremely fast again. (it's been about 6 months since I could fix this problem) I have tried many spyware cleaners and virus cleaners in conjunction with my AVG free edition Antivirus. It goes to show that you need an antivirus program running all the time (Like AVG) and you need many different cleaners too. Ad-aware will find different spyware than other spyware cleaners so you need to use a couple. As far as Virus scanners and cleaners, This Free virus cleaner is a must add to your collection. GET IT NOW, you will not be sorry! <p> <p>One last quick note that you will need is that when a virus is detected it will prompt you to choose what you would like to do in polish because it is a polish based company. Don't let this scare you off. <p> <p>The word Kwarantanna is Quarantine in polish but I clicked on the word Skasuj to delete the file. When the scan is done it saves a report in notepad for you in english.
Cons
NO cons at all
Summary
Best antivirus software that exists aND its FREE

Pros
Typically there is only one way the average computer will get infected; throught execution of a downloaded file. Knowing this, you need only do one thing to prevent virus or trojans from infecting; simply scan any file before you execute it and no software does such a maticulous and efficient job as this one. None of this bs background scanning crap which slows your computer hardcore haha look at windows vista; The most beautiful piece of crap designed yet. If you want to stop a reaction you take away the cause. Antiviruses these days look at all posible causes instead of focusing on the one which caches 99.9% of all virus. Scan all executable files downloaded from the internet and you catch 99.9% of virus, note an email is a file downloaded from the internet.
Cons
You may need to up your language skills as there is a language glitch in the GUI(graphical user interface).
