If it does remove on its own, then I wonder its removal capabilities.
Biozfear said:False advertisement in order to monopolize the market share.
Ain't the first vendor doing this type of thing mind you.
They already make money off other vendors by releasing their signatures to them. No need really to do such thing. It will just get more people angry, not to mention that their 2013 lineup ain't retaining a lot of customers, despite their recent sales and low price sales of their 2013 product lines.
Wan't to keep the consumer happy, offer what you can without false advertisement.

Considering the fact we've been rated the #1 Antivirus in the last 2 years by all the major independent AV tests (AV Test, AV Comparatives etc.) we took the decision to release this small tool just to bring a second opinion on the state of the PC.

We did NOT advertise anywhere that the tool removes infections. To remove the detected infections that have not been detected by your installed security product, you can use the FREE trial from the classic line.
Think about this tool as a classic online scan tool with some improvements: local installation, cloud technology, proactive detection.
Anyway, thank you for your feedback.

Would be productive if we can be more moderate and tolerant, instead we're coming across as militant, opinionated and aggressive. What happened to the level-headed, non-offensive and constructive discussion?
