I asked the same question once, and found this (#7) response interesting.... http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=147730

I love a security suite that is supported by "unobtrusive ads" LOL
Never in a million!

Erm, so what's wrong with simple ad banners inside program? I've seen hundreds of far more annoying ways to promote payable versions or to gain ravenue and offer it for free...

[metallicakid15]

But is it a good program?

[duke1959]

Read post two and click on the link. After you read post 7 of that thread if you still want a program like it, but one that is much more reputable, you could always install and try Prevx 2 for free, at least until it finds something.

I remember my Opera browser having ads like that, then I went to the paid version. ;D

Point taken, I have tried it a while ago and it did "find" malicious programs but the problem was it "found" them on a fresh install... ???

It's almost a purely peer-to-peer app. NO THANKS!

Take it from a habitual installer of security software when I say I didn't even think about trying this one. All right I thought about it, but I didn't. LOL.

If you'd actually read that they use P2P mechanisms for updates.
Considering it's free you can't really argue that. I'd just have to test it more to see how it really works with updates...

Free does not mean valuable. I tried to install it 2 X but it was gone on reboot (killed by some of my Cyberhawk or other security software like AVAST HOME). Spybot Search and Destroy can detect two important spywares in it: SPYBLOCK & CYBERDEFENDER so, for me, it's bad software and I suspect it detects only false positives...!!::)

Yeah I'm almost sure it flags its own banner ads as spyware ;D

Works CyberDefender with Vista? ???

[the Tester]

Adware in a security suite?
That doesn't seem right to me.

{QUOTE-> Adware in a security suite?

Nope.
There's something definitely wrong there.

By that reasoning spyware and adware programmers need to earn a living too.
:-X :dry: :shifty: :thumbd:
