It simply cannot compare with avast Home edition, which is also free and available here on Snapfiles. showShow review details
Hold on a second... 3 stars by iAmEKMA (Read all my 5 reviews)
Just a word to the wise...this program is made by Symantec...the same company that makes Norton's. For those that don't know, Norton's is a resource hog and is extremely hard to remove (it literally takes control of your system). Now, just as Norton's is a "good" anti-virus, I'm sure this is as well. However, you won't find it on my computer as I believe there are better options than this...hence the "'s around the word good. Most people will find this program handy/helpful...just know that it is made by the same people that make Norton`s. [Editor`s note: This product is made by PC Tools. The company has been recently acquired by Symantec, however Symantec had nothing to do with the development of this software.] showShow review details
Works great! 5 stars by jlhns40 (Read all my 10 reviews)
I use this antivirus with Threatfire, also from PC Tools, and it works great. The full scan is a little slow-64 minutes, but I've got time for thoroughness. It looks like the negative reviews were all over 6 months ago, so possibly they are using an older version. I have XP Sp2 1.7Ghz Pentium M and have no problems with locking up or running slow. showShow review details
