Reception
The program has been reviewed several times, with a generally negative reception,[1][2][3] with the most common complaints being the speed of a scan, a lack of a quarantine function, and its price relative to performance. However, the program has had positive comments about simplicity, albeit this being due partially to limited features. [1] An online review by Adware Report stated "We recommend that you avoid this product at all costs. It failed to remove any spyware in our tests and the scan results were filled with false positives, a probable marketing ploy designed to separate fools and their money. " [1]
