As always, the adds are overstating the features of the product and do not mention some of its drawbacks. Of course, it is possible to write viruses that the product will not stop (and will even not detect). Of course, its restoring engine cannot disinfect all kinds of viruses. Nevertheless, the product is -very- good, especially the integrity checking part of it. > I personally think the claims they make are rubbish. I am sure it > finds couple of viruses but to trust on it, well i won't This is an unfounded understatement... The product can deal successfully with WHOLE CLASSES of unknown viruses and is able to detect ALMOST ALL types of known viruses.
