Pros: This is an excellent Anti Virus, that runs smooth on my PC. It updates on default every hour, and apart from the icons in the system tray, you wouldnt know it was there. My browsing is fast, and my e-mail comes in being scanned equally as fast. I rate this alongside Nod, Kaspersky, etc, but at a much cheaper price. If you can prove that you are migrating from another Anti Virus-you get a massive discount as well! Dont be put off by a previous posters comment about the forum being all in Russian-there is an English "Question and Answers" section.
Cons: The scan is a bit time consuming-but speed isnt everything.
