    "That's stupid"

    by SEGMAT on January 7, 2008

    Pros: Non intrusive

    Cons: Everything else

    Summary: First of all, this programs sucks. It protects you against nothing, it doesn't help you and doesn't find anything. The review is stupid as well... why would you say that a program is a must have just because it's free? It even says in the review that it misses stuff, it doesn't help you... just because it's free doesn't mean that it's good to use. It's terrible to use. A virus is free... does that mean I should download all those?

    I definately mean my rating of 1... ABYSMAL!

    That's true though. When a software is of free download doesn't mean that it does not have any setback or cons. I can understand that CNET is doing its best to promote the product, but by exaggerating its contents, it will bring in more bad reviews than good as users are no suckers though.

    To put it simply. A product may be good at the beginning, but there are still some unhidden flaws to be discovered though.

    this is very true. Spybot S&D found all the spyware on my system and removed it in one go. Windows Defender on the other hand, i ran it 5 or so times, it detected some and even though it said it removed them, the spyware remained on my system. Cnet's review is stupid, who cares if its fast if it doesnt do its JOB?! spybot is way better.
