It's basically the same as malware in and of itself
Total waste of money. SO SO SO obnoxious. It decided to change my default browser to Yahoo. Okay, well you can switch it back, right? Sure, but it's going to nag you to re-enable it on like a weekly basis. I ended up uninstalling and regretting I ever wasted money on this.
The whole point of trying to protect your computer is that I want to do what I WANT to do, not have pop ups, not have some software I'm not trying to run steal all resources and make the things I want to do go slower. It just ruins your computer, steals your time, runs programs you don't want at bad times, opens windows you didn't ask for, and generally takes control of your computer while booting you to the role of supplicant having to ask its permission to do anything. It's got all of the bad aspects of actual malware, leaving you wondering what the point is.
If anyone has a good recommendation for an anti-malware packages that isn't an annoying interjection all the time or a resource hog—that is, something that will quietly do it's work in the background and only bother you if there's a real threat, rather than getting all up in your face screaming about whatever it thinks is important when there's really nothing going on—I'm all ears. I hate this software A LOT.
