    From December 10-14 (claimed), you can get 1 year for $5 USD:

    But read this first:

    This product sucks at detection, is useless for cleaning, and can destroy your system and your sanity with its false positives.

    If you need a thorough scanner, this one does the trick. It is quite an aggressive program so is good for locking down your system.

    I have to white list many of the cookies it finds to keep it from interrupting some of my installed programs.

    This security program includes 2 scanners, concurrently with 4 vital components:
    (1) Ikarus - a top tier antivirus engine and signatures
    (2) Mamutu - a superb behavior blocker HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System)
    (3) A-squared's anti-malware engine and signatures
    (4) HiJack Free - a system analysis tool to detect and remove HiJackers, Spyware, Adware, and Worms

    This app is vigorously maintained. Signatures are updated multiple times daily. Stable. Light footprint. Scans real-time with options for full scans on-demand as well as right-click scans of specified files or folders. Excellent protection. Highly recommended.

    Il miglior braccio destro di antivirus e firewall, compatibile con qualunque sistema di protezione.
