Agreed, a bit to fancy, but it works as advertised.
However, i am not using the resident watch part.
For that I already use AVG, WINPATROL and Spybot SD reident.
Between those I had no nasty visitors for the last 2 years.

        I am not AVG user but have heard quite a bit of bad stories (false alarms)
for over a year now.

Avg removed a dll system file from a DOS6.22/win3.11 backup
dump on my removable harddisk G:, while there was nothing wrong
with it(I compared the dll with the one in the 3.11 install disk)
So, AVG is in the "carefully watched" category at the moment.
