Has anyone heard of this? I saw that their Security Suite on EBay is only $4.99 US.

Sounds like it's very close to be rogue antivirus program, according to the user review on download.com. I would stay away.

Yes it sounds like snake oil to me.
"XMicro is a Worldwide leading developer of security software"::) I for one have never heard of them.

I agree. When an advertisement claims that the developer is a "Worldwide leading developer" you would think someone would have heard of them!

Yes sir,I caught the same flak from the same source.
Apparently to mention the name of another security app in a thread
dedicated to another,is deemed as off topic by some.
