Installed this on my home server system (Dell Dimensions AMD X2-6000 with XP Media Center with 2GB RAM / 1TB HD). I followed all the directions carefully by having previous antiviral software removed and rebooted. Then proceeded with the install of this product. The install went smoothly and almost finished. Then I assume the program started and my system rebooted (I’ve disabled blue screens for reboots). I thought okay, should be fine on the reboot. Well the system rebooted and windows started loading but then it would reach a point where the system errored again and reboot. Pattern was infinite, I powered down and powered back on with the same pattern.

Omigod I thought, this is terrible. Apparently this program is causing a catastrophic error to the point I can’t even get windows to complete loading. So I decide it’s best to boot into safemode to remove the program. Should be easy. Got into safemode and loaded the uninstall control panel. Clicked to uninstall. Wouldn’t let me. It tells me this particular vendor’s installer cannot be uninstalled under safe mode. Ridiculous! What kind of idiot makes an installer do this? I kept trying to no avail. I was starting to panic thinking my system was hosed by this commercial virus (that’s what a virus does). Fortunately, I was able to roll back to the last known good configuration which prevented this program from loading.

Horrible installer for this program. Haven’t seen anything like this in ages and to think this is commercial software? Crazy. My home server is very stable by the way, with minimal software and runs without fault for weeks, even months at a time. I refuse to go through this pattern of insanity, plus wasting hours of my time, just to install it on another PC to see how it works. Beware.
