Pros: Scanning and Virus info
Cons: Speed, Interface, Installation and Uninstall

Pros: finds the most viruses of any software

"Why buy software that does not work?"
Pros: It comes in a pretty retail box!
Cons: It does not do its job of protection from viruses.
Summary: Why pay good money for a product that does not do the job? I have been using the free Personal Edition of Antivir for over a year and it stops viruses from infecting my system and if something comes through I can actually delete the file, not like M... read more >>
