False positives aside, which have nothing to do really with the product, so much as the AV Engine behind it, this is a fun and delightful little piece of software...

More of an: Ut Oh, you have an infection, do something, sort of application, than a removal application, it still ads a fun component to your Windows Explorer, and generally satisfies the inner geek.

A fairly simple, effective and well supported virus detection program. It is far more reliable and stable than Norton, mainly because it is a basic scanner rather than realtime protection.

It does have some quite useful features, such as email notifications. It is good enough to make me throw away Norton and McAfee forever - after all, once I know a virus exists on a computer, I prefer to resolve it myself anyway.

Tis is great, I hate realtime scanners with their resource hogging. It may have a long way to go until it competes with commercial antivirus software but to be honest I hope it never gets there.
