Bottom Line
This version beefs up antivirus protection. It's more effective at removing
antivirus than at preventing new installations, but the bottom line is it will
stop most spies. The competition (Norton Antivirus 2007) is tough, but for the
moment AOL Active Virus Shield is the best all-around antivirus application
available.
Pros
Antivirus protection is certified by independent labs. Multiple layers of
protection prevent installation of most malware. Did a good job of cleaning
up malware-infested systems.
Cons
Better at finding malware and stopping it dead than at preventing it from
installing in the first place. Keylogger protection lacking.
