SPR has nothing to do with ADWare/Spyware and is not a limitation of the free version. But it is deactivated by default for a reason.
Believe it or not, I've heard the same from system admins in a medium-sized company (around 200 employees). "If we remove the virus, our network...
Even if your AV does not detect the three packed files you are protected just the same. Why? Archives are not dangerous until their contents are...
