    Spectacular. I caught a bad dose on Christmas night and spent ALL night trying to get rid of it with AVG, with no success. This morning, I installed this program, and with one 22-minute Quick Scan it was completely gone. A second, 16-minute Quick Scan showed zero infection, and then a 1 hour and 16 minute Full Scan further showed zero infection… so it turns out, all it had really required was that first, single Quick Scan. What’s not to love? There ya go! Merry Day-After-Christmas!
