Has anyone ever heard of WinCleaner Anti-Virus? Does anyone know if it's any good? Iwas loooking through microcenter.com and ran across this virus scanner among 3 others I haven't heard or seen before. I'm asking about this AV cuz it looks it's not a big and bulky as NAV2003. Plus it'a a little bit cheaper. Heres the link I found it at http://www.microcenter.com/search_results_e.phtml?coordinate_group=V2D5

This looks like another version of Cat's Quick Heal.

Not very informative website (http://www.wincleaner.com/pc/uti/antivirus/uwc_antivirus.htm); no way for us Europeans to get our hands on it that I can figure out. I would not rely on it as a first line of defense until tested extensively.

And an oldfashioned one at that. ;D

But although looks can be deceiving. I'll take TechnoDrome's word for it any day.

I am. I'm staying away from it. :) Now I know what my mom meant when she said cheap is always better. ;)
