Unfortunately, I didn't like it. It failed to find what the
others eventually found. And the update
feature was dysfunctional as well. So I eventually
uninstalled it and grateful that i did.

But in either case, it was
not as proficient as a third party
antiviral whose bread n butter
is to achieve excellences in fighting
contaminations. And I have used
many of them at one time or another.

Ultimately I concluded that my favorite
is the spyware terminator with
the clam antivirus add in. It loads in memory
as in real time.

And if something get by then spybot is a great
standby that sweeps the system when i need it
too. Or I can log into Microsoft's one care
and do an online sweep if needed. Or I can
use Netscape and their advance security features
if i want to double check my systems interaction
with the internet.....

Others may provide you with their favorites as
well.

AVG 7.5 is an antivirus. works fine with updates on my machine.
Grissoft also has an antispyware which is a separate product;AVG Anti-SpyWare, which was Ewido.
