Excellent Review except one small mistake possibly? I've used and recommended/installed to clients computers this software for the last 6 years.
Never once has it offered up a nag screen requesting any form of update or to purchase the pay for version. The only time the program ever does this is if you try to use a feature that is only available in the pay for version.

It simply says 'This feature only available in the Professional version'. It gives an option for you to upgrade or not but it is the user and not the program who activates this.
The only misleading part of an otherwise excellent review.
Also it is about the only Anti Virus solution that I have come across that actually does do it's job! And without any hassles.

Best:

Excellent fully functioning anti virus solution. It doesn't need a fancy interface to do what it is intended to do, be simple to use and work in the background protecting you while you get on with what you want to do.
It's pay for option is even better again!

Worst:

Never had a problem or fault with it in six year s of use and recommendation. The same can not be said for most if not all of the 'Big' pay for players in this field including the two most well known, who have both failed my testing procedure every year!
