Program footprint is very large and uses a lot of system resources. Seems to be a very stable program with fast scanning capabilities. The program integrates completely into the operating system. I know this because on installation it triggers many parts of my "intrusion detection software" that other programs would not. That being said,it scans deeper than any other anti-spyware software that I know of. The program will find and clean malware and traces of malware that most others won't. However, I find it difficult navigating the layout,i.e. getting to specific features/sections easily and I don't like the way the program seems to dominate my operating system. Examples of the latter would be; I cannot turn off the program so I can use it just for spyware scans,it needs an internet connection frequently,it overrides some of my system protection software,etc.
