    Just started it to turn it off. This software does not find a lot and slows the system down.

    with combination of classic antivirus it's useful because most of antivirus SW doesn't let you know eg. when something is changed in startup applications...

    This is just one of them default things, I wouldn't trust it to block viruses. It's better than nothing I suppose, good for people who only use the internet to check their email, but not many DO that. So I would NOT suggest using this unless necessary.

    Well comes with windows, it does the job, but updates through auto updates unlike avast which just updates, in a way Vista is a pain in the arse.
