From zero to 500 million in a flash? That is great! Intrusta has more users than Avast or Bitdefender. Can I buy Intrusta stock? With such growth rates it will be worth 10 times as much as Cylance soon. What a great example of an American dream succes story.

P.S.
I am considering a new political party called "equal rights for all green goblins" will you endorse me?

So Adware using Bitdefender engine is also trusted by 500+ Million? Zone Alarm using Kaspersky engine is also trusted by 500+ million? Companies should not make those claims when those achievements are not theirs.

To be honest I don't think the glass is half empty, it looks like it is half full of marketing $#!T to me. Lets not comment on the people posting, lets discuss the arguments used in the post.

I've looked a a few reviews & most say more or less the same thing with common sentences (I'm sure they don't write their own reviews) The price for the initial install is reasonable the so called renewal is expensive, no firewall for those who like one & I haven't seen a truly independent test on it. The support looks very good, the website leaves much to be desired on information & design. Not for me :)

Well IF I were to buy it, and now I won't after running those tests...I would use Visa, but it would be a 25.00 Visa Gift Card, and then after the first year, I have avoided any and all problems with cancelling an account, because their is nothing remaining on the Visa.

Here we do not trust the old companies with a tradition of protection and we will trust the new American company? And why should I use the unknown company with engine Avira and not to use directly Avira which is a good product with years of experience and testing and recognized value.

I think Windows_Security is on point here.

There seems to be a credibility gap. I think it's hard to rationalize otherwise.

Now that doesn't mean that it won't end up to be a decent product.... but I think they've issued their own warning about themselves.

Cylance started out deceptive too. But they self-corrected.... they stopped with the wild exaggerations and lies. And Cylance is now a good product.

Trying to find out how well the new antivirus Intrusta would fare, I tried to get a copy a few hours back, and installed it. Then I tried to ran this test: Take The Test - Test Your Metal by Fortinet
Intrusta did not respond to one single of the eicar files.
Then I uninstalled Intrusta, and reinstalled my old AV Eset NOD 32 antivirus. EAV took all the threats with one exception. The PW protected ZIP file.
I then contacted their support with real time chat, and was talking to a very nice guy called Raghav. And no problems, I would get my money back on my account within 5 working days.So their support is very good, but it seems their antivirus engine need some polishing.
