    I'm amazed it's so popular, as in my opinion it gives exaggerated and false-positive results.

    It doesn't give sufficient explanation of the problems it finds; it came up with several spurious spyware and other notifications, which other spyware programs would normally detect but didn't, but the last straw after only 20 minutes on this PC was that it attempted to delete System Restore while pretending to do something else.

    And I've unsubscribed about 50 times from their email system, without success yet, and rung up quite recently to complain that this is spam 18 months after I filled in a report on why I didn't like it.
