This is a very good security app have. I do not recommend it being yur only app though. It is a good addition to a real antivirus and antispyware app for it uses behavior-based detection as apposed to using only a database. This will definetly protect you from most zero day attacks. I have tested it with fake trojans and it has popped up with warning about the files and give options to quarantine or delete. It has 5 different levels of protection to choose from. It starts off at level 3 which is the recommended level for most users. I normally forget I have it running most of the time. Every once in a while it will popup with a moderate warning about a file that is running. Normally this happens when I install a program and it tries to gain internet access. This doesn't happen often as those kind of detections are referred to as PUAs or Potentially Unwanted Applications. Overall, a great addition to a security setup.

Best:

-behavior-based detection

-normally not intrusive at recommended protection level

-an excellent addition

-starts up relatively quickly

Worst:

-no scan bars of any sort when performing a scan
