The application can also immunize your system against over hundreds of different spies and if you set it up to regularly update data files, it helps to keep your computer protected.
It's package supports over 30 languages.
The program has an easy-to-use interface: from the main window, you can scan your system, update the program, and/or recover your system to a previous state, if you need to.
It offers two modes of usage: basic and advanced. The difference between them is that the advanced mode is suitable for power users who like to schedule their scans, customize it's operation, log files, display warnings, fix registry inconsistencies, and so on.
It's also important to mention, that the package includes not only a built-in tutorial but a built-in help file as well.
To sum up, it's an easy-to-use application, suitable for both: beginning and power users. It will prevent you from any real headaches, and best of all it's free.

Advantages:

  • Free
  • Configurable
  • Has a built-in tutorial
  • Supports over 30 languages
  • Now works with Vista

Disadvantages:

  • Very few threats (but not so important) were not detected, while other anti-spy programs really succeeded in detecting them.
