Hi, I have planned to use this antivirus for my pc. How far is this good when compared to leading antiviruses like kaspersky, nod32 etc.
Any hands on experience in using this AV..plz post it here. Thx

Never heard of it,
if it was to be good, wouldnt it be in any review and all,
Kaspersky and Nod32 rock, use them hands down

Gmail is using this AntiVirus (99% yes, but there is no official statement by Gmail on this)........;)

It is primarily developed for Enterprise and Networking use. So, I don't suggest using it on a home computer.

But I'll suggest NOD32........

Heard about it and seen it, it's no good.
Gmail (using Sophos) detects my Keylogger when I send it as an attachment but that crappy Norton used by Yahoo doesn't detect.....

never heard of it but i use avg free edition
Get NOD32 or Kaspersky. Use avast Home or Avira AntiVir free but don't ever use that crappy AVG......
