Man...PG2 is blocking that site like there's no tomorrow. I'm not sure why...but my AV stuff seems to work just fine at the moment. Is this one of those things where you have to dl an Active X controller to use it? Otherwise known as bulkware?

its an excellent scanner. But that's all it will do.. It wont scan prgrams on startup, startup memory, and other critical areas.

But if you only want a tool for scanning, then you dont need anything else.

One of us is really confused.. If its me, forgive me..


I'm pretty sure it scans quiet deep & every drive you select it to scan.
