### "Great Antivirus Software" — 4.0/5

> **Paul** | *30 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very simple to install and does not use a lot of computer resources.  Great product for home users.
> 
> **Cons**: This is not an EDR product so while it does protect from viruses and malware, it does not really protect from ransomware.
> 
> Very positive experience.  We used it for years on hundreds of computers until we switched to an EDR solution.  We still use it on a small number of home user computers.
