Would be more attractive if the price was more reasonable.

At EUR 41/£36/$58, far too expensive for most Home Users to consider. Particularly when compared to the standard of the free AVs available today.

 

Yes it's priced too high, but slightly better if you go for 3 years or more, price
nearly halves :

This new version looks interesting, but can't see any info on new "self-protection from exploits", or what it is? Maybe just a check for patches, bit like Secunia?
