Reviewing 6.0.9.6 (Feb 22, 2012)
I've been using F-Prot at home since before Windows. I've only had one infection in that time that it couldn't handle (BitDefender boot CD took that one out). It's not as flashy as Norton (which I wouldn't trust anyway since Symantec was hacked), and it's not as complicated to configure as McAfee (which we ditched at work in favor of MBAM+MSE), but it's much smaller, updated often, simple to use, and it works. I suspect that a lot of the "antivirus comparison" websites are paid for by one or more of the antivirus vendors (not Frisk), which is why F-Prot often is ranked far below "the leaders". The home license is great at $29/yr.

I've used this for years on two oldish DELL laptops due to its very small memory footprint. An excellent program. It also keeps improving.

Terrible!
Downloaded trial version,first exc downloaded from Frisk was corrupt.
Second worked fine,but update hung at about sixty percent.
Had to kill update with task manager and start over.
This time update would not even open.
Decided to remove program and damn uninstal utility stuck also!
Downloaded so called "removal tool" from F-prot,did nothing at all.
Ended up going into safe mode to remove program and regedit to remove legacy keys.
Maybe its just my machine but I had a colon full of of F-Prot.
Back to Avira!
