This software is free to download and comes with an easy to use interface. This is user-friendly software with the ability to block the installation of most ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers and other unwanted programs from the user's computer. Updating this program is simple as it reminds you when to update the program by using simple steps.

This software is provided with four important categories:
