Not quite ready yet

Pros: AV is extremely good. Footprint is very light. I could not believe how quickly programmes were opening and web pages rendering. Simple enough UI. Scans OK for timings and anti-spam is good. However excellent performance seems to come at a price.

Cons: Firewall needs work. Not as configurable as you might expect. The 'interactive' mode allows you to select what applications connect to the network but it's all or nothing. You don't seem to be able to allow certain processes of an application such as auto update etc only. The whole product especially Anti Spy seems to allow everything until it causes a threat. I like to decide what comes in and out of my PC and expect security software to alert me to potential as well as actual threats. It does not appear to alert you to changes in the start up options etc.

I genuinely hope it gets better as the AV is great and low footprint a real bonus but at the moment the concerns about the firewall and anti spy outweigh performance gains. For now I'll stick with KIS 7. PS uninstal was a nightmare. Stalled halfway through. Had to reinstall then remove with help of Revo.

Did nothing for me

Pros: Free and allegedly bolsters you AV against zero day attacks. I prefer PITA HIPs or anti-executable product as at least I know it's working. If you like your security lite and quiet this might be for you.

Cons: Can't think of anything as it did not block any behaviour on my system for a number of weeks I just thought what was the point of it taking up resources if it was not doing anything
