"Very trustfull, user friendly, has a lot of features."
Pros: Very practical, it has a lot of otpions so one can decide how sensible you want it to be, it warns on time and prompts for action to take, you don't have to worry about it because you can program auto updates and scans that are suitable for everyone.
Cons: It's a little annoying for unexperienced users or begginners due to the use of high sensitivity or advanced settings whic cause too many pop-ups to appear but once oeople gets confident and finds the correct settings it's perfect!
Summary: It's and easy to use, user friendly well explained and multifunctional antivirus which is enhanced with excellent extra features like disk usage, community alerts, etc. etc. I really recomend this program it's great! read more

Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.17
Pros: before the day of pc the company that bought this little software it used to be great and worked wonderful now not so much look at the cons
Cons: I have a hp pavilion with a Tera byte of hard drive and 650 GB of ram basically it can handle a lot more then most plus some with a quad core processor and this thing slowed it down, plus made it so it took longer to even render webpages
Summary: it is a computer killer dont try it I removed it after a days worth of use it isnt worth any money at all and even for free it isnt worth it a good firewall and AV now days will do just fine for most all situations read more
