However, for best performance we would recommend at least the following:
Every single day we see more than 15,000 new unique spyware and malware programs. The majority of these new threats would be undetected by most of the popular security programs, including the ones we all use. That means that thousands of users' PCs are being infected by spyware and malware every day and no warning is given because the threats are all undetected.
That's why we developed Prevx 3.0. You can use it free, in detection mode without a license, to check your PC for signs of infection as often as you like. Peace of mind, free of charge.
