I have been using the product from quite sometime, since the time it was in beta. It looks like a good product. It performs very well along with Avast, and different firewalls(I have tried PCTools Firewall and Sygate).

About the malware detection, independent test results are awaited.

One more thing, the free version only checks for updates on startup. Other than that, automatic updating is not there in the free version, you have to manually update it.

Please look at these threads to read more for discussions already on the forum:
