    Looks like a legal program, can find nothing bad posted about it...

    Don't know if it is any good but, it IS a BETA and may have some bugs...[​IMG]

    I personally don't use BETA's until they have been proven and have some reviews posted..

    LauraAnne,

    I think probably staying away from the "hyped", New, All purpose, Anti-virus, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Malware, Trojan Killing, BETA Programs that claim to do EVERYTHING and just sticking to the tried, Proven and well established programs that work, is probably the best approach to keeping your computer clean and protected while maintaining your sanity when surfing the net... LOL
