Hi,
Really, though, I do have some questions:
Can it really be uninstalled, or is it like Norton that completely infects your system?
Can it be set up so that it does *not* run in the background, but can be used to scan files, folders, or the whole system at the user's request?
What are the options for downloading definition files? Is it part of the obnoxious Micro$quish auto update or is there a good updater?
And, of course, the one you can't answer because none of us know -- how soon will MS have a monopoly on AVS and charge greatly overcharge for its use?
Does sound good. But I fear all that comes from <strike>Mordor</strike> Redmond.
