Pros: I've been using is for only few days but very impressed & satisfied with it. Realtime Shield, with HIPS & Clam Antivirus (included in update) provides effective ways to protect against spyware & adware.
I d/l some stuff and at the moment of access it detected the spyware. It's not a "scan spyware after infection" method, but rather "prevent spyware infection" method. It's great because it prevents spyware from getting into your computer at first place.
It gives me peace of mind; since other programs only scan manually, often after the spyware infection, I consider this as the first line of defense.
The user inferface and navigation is very simple and effective. You won't get confused using this product. Make sure you enable the HIPS (Host Intrustion Prevention System), along with clamAV; because those two are the detection component is real time.
Cons: It also moniters program, which can be annoying if the settings were set to expert setting. It practically asks permission for all the file accssed/used during installation. But this can be prevented by setting it to beginner or advanced setting. You will need to tweak the setting for your comfort level.
It would be nice to have more detailed description or manual about this program. |
