Is this as good as most Kas products, or does it come with Spyware bundled courtesy of AOL????

It should be a fairly good AV.

Only thing to take note is this....

NovaRod · 08-13-2006, 04:19 PM

I think this is another great tool to use in the fight against the bad guys. I'm not sure about the anti-spyware.

I've had this installed on a test machine for more than 3 days now. It found things it should have (treats I keep around to experiment with

) and I have yet to receive any email from them other than the registration email.

Should it be used as an AV?

FlyingPenguins · 08-25-2006, 01:47 AM

It's your choice. Looks like a good antivirus, but the privacy problems stated in the privacy policy scared me away.

SpySentinel · 08-25-2006, 05:03 PM

What is stated in the Privacy Statement that is bad?

Flatiron · 08-25-2006, 05:43 PM

Interesting, a lot of info found here plus the EULA.
