    Best bet is to search online and try to find an unbiased review of it. if you find one, post it up, I'm curious.

    Tested it, it was such garbage on my system that i had to uninstall it and clean up the mess it made after a few mins. Maybe it was just my fault but in this kind of situation I'd rather have him safe than sorry by trying it.

    I'd like it if you calmed down your disrespectful tone, as i don't care what mood you're in but i will not tolerate rudeness. If i tested it and it didn't work out for me, that's what i tell him. If it works fine for you, great, tell him. He needs all sides of the story to make an educated decision.

    Lets get this straight...

    Its been documented many many many times over that Microsoft cannot create a secure OS.

    So why would you buy a MS security solution???

    It's funny you say you can get the printer for free but your signiture says that "nothing is free buy ignorance". Ironic?
