    Well after watching that youtube video that Ibrad placed a link to, i would say that at the moment it is not performing very well.(poorly even in my opinion.) But that could change in the future i guess. What is not working well now might work good/great in a matter of time.

    Oh and before some one drops by to remind me...yes i am aware that one Youtube video is not a real test of a program, but still. :)

    Does it really matter how light it is, if it deletes Notepad.exe from your system?

    Final release is out now. I installed it and during installation it prompt me to uninstall Avast and Online Armor because of compatibility issues.
    It gave me two options "Uninstall Now or Uninstall Later" I choose to uninstall later then continued.

    After the installation was done, I started the program and did a quick scan and it found no false positives.
    However the real-time protection is disabled until I choose to uninstall Online Armor and Avast.

    Unlike Panda Cloud and Immunet Protect cloud protection, Kingsoft is not compatible with many real-time AV's and firewalls.

    That is going to be a disadvantage, because most users just want extra protection, they don't want to uninstall their current security setup to use an unknown product.

    Thanks.:)

    Installed along with Forticlient Standard with no problem. Seems light... License problem seems to have solved...:) Offers some additional things like system repair option, task manager etc... Overall looks interesting..:)

    Any change logs..?
    Does anyone know if it is compatible with any other AV like Panda Cloud? I have used it with Vipre and Comodo but in both cases it seems to conflict.:doubt:

    Have you done any testing with the new version? There are things I like about this program, but last time I tested it didn't do very well.

    It does not provide the best protection. I have tried it twice, but it doesn't seem ready for prime time.

    It is not compatible with other AV like Panda Cloud is. I wouldn't trust it as my sole AV although it is very light on resources..:)
