    ----would not recommend that one---

    WHY NOT?

    Yes ST is a good program:

    1. It is not hard on resources (almost as light as Avast)
    2. Got integrated Anti Virus (Clam, which is open source) with a daily updae
    3. Works really well now for the last 3 month I am testing it and it is providing real-time protection, before this I've used Avast + MS Diffender + Hardware firewall and this is as good.
    4.Free
