Has anyone used Principal Antivirus before?

Just curious if anyone knows/used this software before?

Sounds more like a HIPS to me. On the website, they claim to not use signatures, and rather warn of events that SEEM like malware.

Don't really know if this is even an antivirus to be frank :-\

Hi,

The problem concerns the definition of an antivirus: if an AV means pattern files/signatures/scanner engines, this product (well known) is not an antivirus.
It is more a registry guard, less effective than AppDefend or RegRun.

The antivirus terminology is excessive, as for products like viguard ( http://www.viguard.com/ ) and Invircible ( http://www.invircible.com/ ).
As said Alphalutra1, these products act more as HIPS than as antivirus.
