[QUOTE="509322, post: 779084"] Pro: [LIST] [*]It's free. [/LIST] Cons: [LIST] [*]It's very buggy. [*]It's a perpetual beta. [*]It's prone to high false positives. [*]The GUI is atrocious. [*]Usability is atrocious. [*]It's very cryptic and non-intuitive. [*]Virtually no documentation. [*]Conflicting documentation. [*]Incomplete documentation. [*]It's a resource hog. [*]It will slow-down the system at times. [*]The protections have holes by design. [*]All of the advanced settings are hidden. [*]Not all settings or features are available on the Windows Home version. [*]To get the most protection out of it requires a quite advanced level of knowledge not to mention the effort required to obtain all the needed details. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
