+Warwagon MVC Posted August 20, 2012 MVC Share Posted August 20, 2012 As a main AV ok, but what you were to use it as a second opinion, scanner wouldn't malwarebytes be a better buy because it's a 1 time payment for life?

Yorak Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I really like the entire concept of this Antivirus. Unfortunately, it has too many false positives and misses many infected files. I hope it gets better by November because that is when my NOD32 subscription expires. If so, I will surely use it.
