Been recommended to download this (free version) and run it in conjunction with my anti virus. Any comments please from all you who know about such things. Many thanks

I'm no expert here but I think it's worth having. I had a pretty shocking virus a while back and used it to get rid, even after Microsoft Security Essentials couldn't do anything to remove it.0

Personally I do not like it I have found 10 bit security 360 good and less intrusive, it is also freeware.0

I use that, seems to work well on my system as tool to routine check my other free anti-virus softeware is picking everything up.0

I think it's worth having, as you only need to run it once in a while. Ad aware is quite useful to0

I installed it on my PC recently. All it appears to do is flag/warn against tracking cookies which do nothing more than record all your online shopping browsing/interests. If you empty your Temp Internet Folder before running it then if reports that your PC is clean.
I use AVG and ZoneAlarm which I consider to to more important when it comes to defending your computer.0 -
