All of the features we tested were working well. The quick scans only took eight minutes to check for the presence of viruses in areas that are known to infect like the system files or registries. The complete scans took longer however they were shorter than the norm in the field.

The antivirus itself is easy to navigate and uses a clean interface with all functions carefully grouped into their own tabs for convenience. The Tracker Remover feature is especially helpful, deleting cookies and temporary files that can eat up space and potentially provide hackers with sensitive information. Unfortunately, accessing some of the most important features, such as parental controls and identity theft protections, requires you to log into a separate online dashboard.
