    I've run it for a while, it is a good prog, way supireor to Spybot and Ad aware, picked up a few little trasures
    Having said that I updated my Pest Patrol and ran it 1 hour after GASW and PP found 98 files including Trojan downloaders and a shitload of low risk stuff that it would seem Giant had missed.

    This is my personal experience, I don't like to say that it's good or bad, it's definitely good but not as good as I thought.

    well, Microsoft knows of its potential. They'll definitely want to expand their business to the security side. Microsoft had, in the past, acquired a relatively new antivirus company, called AVK i think, which would've been just as good as NOD32 and Kaspersky.

    I was going to post or PM you about that . A Russian Co. too I think. What happened to that I wonder?

    we'll never know, that AV company would've gain popularity like Giant if it weren't acquired by Microsoft so soon.
