I love it ... it has saved my a-- a few times and it also combines a firewall (now I no longer need to pay separately for ZoneAlarm)

That is how I had it too until a couple of days ago
...but instead of upgrading the ZoneAlarm for $30 and the antivirus for another $30 I got both in one for $37 (for 2years). Not bad at all ... and I really like the idea of dealing with only one software instead of two ... for AV, spyware, firewall ... etc). It feels more integrated and it is using less resources on my system than when I was running both.

Hmmm.... Looks good, but it dosen't appear that they have a 64 bit version yet..... I see that they'll support Vista, but only the 32 bit version (as of yet)
I've been using Webroot Spysweeper with antivirus on my XP pro systems and have been very happy with them. However, they are also behind the curve in coming out with 64 bit support..

You can run a virus scan of your computer directly via the website (main page, lower left-hand side).
You can also download some demo's from the download site:

Thank you for the information
I guess I can quit using Mailwasher Pro, AGV antivirus and Ad-Aware and use just this one system.

Thanks for the tip. I love online scans. Since no ONE anti-virus product will catch everything, its good to have the on line scans to help my primary app.
