    No much to say about this AV.There's a nagging banner and low detection rate.Cannot compete against AVG or Avast! Very few options, similar to Avira 2012, but Avira's detection rate is much more higher!
    Not good at all!

    Do you mean the version that was part of the now defunct 'Google Pack'?

    I saw languy evaluation of pc tool internet security 2012 and it failed badly in protecting, detecting malwares. Also hbuying it he could not have able to use the removing option for removing those malwares it detected. It scored very badly.

    Not that I fully trust his reviews, but I saw that yesterday myself. I would not touch it based upon what I saw. Weak sauce if you ask me.

    Yes that is the one. I understand they want people to use their AV version but if they had a limited version of their Spyware Doctor I think it would be good for users and them.

    I wish they'd update ThreatFire as well. One of the best security programs i've ever used, but hasn't been updated for a year or so. Even though it doesn't need signatures, security app that's not updated for a year is questionable regarding it's performance against latest malware.

    Even it had been updated, TF would Not have been as popular as it used to be in the past.
    No many Wilders still using TF...
