USER REVIEWS
"good...and bad"

Pros: good solid basic protection
Cons: TOO MANY ADDS to upgrade to Pro version. REALLY annoying. If I wanted the Pro version, I would have installed the pro version.
Other Thoughts: This could be a good free alternative if it was not so darn annoying. I uninstalled it because of that.
