    "Great"??

    Ummm, did you read through that review?

    From your link, my bold underline added,
    Yes, you specifically said "malware protection" and in terms of just "malware protection", it got their top score. But there is much more to security software than that.

    Then there's the price.
    Yes, that is for 10 devices but realistically, how many users have 10 devices in their household?

    Without a web filter, UltraAV can't examine a file download prior to being created on the disk. UltraAV detects when;
    Obviously, AV web filtering is a desirable feature. But it does have some negatives such as HTTPS scanning depending on what one thinks of that.

    PC Security Channel did a review of UltraAV. Leo's opinion - stay away from it.

    I typically don't waste my time with these videos - as typically they take 20 minutes to say what could have been said in 2.

    But this video is indeed worth watching - at least for the first 5 minutes, 25 seconds.

    @Victek ,

    Thank you for sharing that link. Indeed, UltraAV doesn't even appear to be a half-baked AV solution. I would not have garbage on my computer.

    Have a great day.

    Regards,
    Phil
