Review by Thomas Paul

This is a security code and a URL to a website. There is no disk included. The product overall is good and reasonably priced. Just remember to never renew this (or any other security software) from the company that makes it. Always go to amazon.

Why no disk? They give several reasons that include saving the environment but the best reason is that if they need to upgrade the software you will automatically get the most up-to-date version when you download.

Installation: If they aren’t going to give a disk then they should make it easier to get the right software. But you go to a website and then it’s click here and then pick an OS and then pick a software and then choose the download manager and the whole thing was confusing. I can guarantee that my wife would not have been able to figure out what links to click on. When it finally downloaded everything the download manager ended up behind the web browser page so I didn’t realize that it was completed. Once the installation started it did remove the old security software very easily with no more intervention than telling the old software that it was OK when prompted. When it restarted the PC the installation software started right up again without any prompting from me. There was a long pause between the completion of the installation and the activation screen so that left me wondering if it was done or not. But overall it was OK although it did take an hour for the full installation.

Quick Scan: The Quick Scan took about 15 minutes to run. It is easy to trigger as there is a big button labeled quick scan right in the middle of the console and you can set it to automatically shut down when the scan is complete. It will do some optimization although having had a security software with optimization it didn’t save much.

Start up: Start up took about 2 to 3 minutes but that isn’t any different than the old software. This an older PC that I was installing this on.

Overall the software is quite acceptable and I have no real complaints.
