Among their features are anti-virus, anti-spyware, parental control, remote file lock, two-way firewall, rootkits, and identity theft protection. This product is also effective in guarding against other frequent problems such as spam, malware, worms, and Trojans.

More frustrating was its continual flagging of acceptable programs and programs that we installed on my computer ourselves. The program also defined ad-tracking cookies that originated from legitimate sites as threats. In addition, the software strained performance, at times.
