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.

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.
