The Essentials edition of Family Tree Maker came with everything that we needed to get started discovering our family’s roots. With some planning beforehand, the one-month trial of Ancestry.com was all that we needed to gather that source information.

Imagine a flu shot that made you feel sick for several days. On the one hand, you wouldn’t get the flu, so you wouldn’t get some of the really nasty complications that sometimes come with the flu. On the other hand, you’d still get about as sick as you would with a normal flu. It’s the same way with this virus program: It slows down your computer just like most of the trojan horses and spyware it prevents from being installed.

This is an old model, but I have two of them which were both purchased used. The first has been in service for several years now without a single complaint. I’ve found them to be much more stable than the consumer-grade products available at most retail outlets.
