It's a beta program. This means that you should notinstall it unless
everything important is backed up and you are ready to format the drive and
re-install everything.

As mentioned it is BETA. I suggest looking at the newsgroup for other users
experiences.

The base code came from Giant Company Software. Only the re-branding is
truly Beta.

It's only a Beta, showing false positives when I tested. The options/features are nice, but I'd still wait for the final release.

I use it and have had no problems at all. On the initial run it found many
problems that the well known programs had not found.

I do hope you made sure that these "problems" were not false positives.

No, 2 browser hijackers, 1 trojan downloader, 16 adware, 2 servers, and it
cleand a bunch of junk out of the registry.

I changed from dialup to dsl 30 days ago and got hammered hard.
