Worst Software EVER

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: Hasan Edain Thursday, August 21 2008 @ 07:26 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: NO

This software is worse than the viruses it claims to guard against.
I have had nothing but problems from the moment of installation.
I bought it based on the reviews, boy was I wrong!
It causes mail to crash at least twice a day, forcing me to rebuild my entire mail database at a cost of several minutes.
It eats up a huge amount of CPU.
It is poorly configureable.
There is no way to easily turn it off or uninstall it.
I can only minimize, not hide it, and the scans are incredibly slow.
All I want now is to get it off my computer and to warn everyone from ever giving these people money for this awful product.
