Torrance, CA | It's good stuff. I use it, always run as admin, wrote a script that automatically clicks yes on all pop ups, and the scans tell me I have never had any malware. |

How does this play with other programs such as SuperAntiSpyware and Zone Alarm Security Suite? Any known problems? |

I still do not think it will offer %100 protection. |

I've been using the Pro version for about a year. Tho just a lightly advertised feature, PlaceboAV Pro works in the background, not only searching for free software on the net, but then even installing it automatically. I have gotten so many new apps this way that I haven't yet had time to find out what most of them do. |

That sounds dangerous. Exactly what kind of apps are they?

It's so light it has more of a toeprint than a footprint.
Easy on the registry too with only 2 keys created
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DOXdesk

PlaceboAV from 419 Software Development, the Nigerian anti-malware experts, is absolute magic!
I'm beta testing the soon-to-be-released ProPlus version which has anti-virus anti-rootkit, anti-spam, anti-popup, anti-adware and antiphlogistine in one small (only 22kb) package.
I had Norton, Kaspersky, NOD32, Trend, McAfee and Avira running on my PC and they all told me I had Vundo, Zlob, Mist, Badtrans, and several serious rootkit infections.
When I uninstalled them all and installed PlaceboAV ProPlus it gave my PC a clean bill of health on the first run. How's that for disinfection efficiency?
PlaceboAV never needs updates, and it won't slow down your PC because it uses no CPU resources.
The good news is that the 5 years ProPlus license will be free! (419 Software requires a notarized copy of your birth certificate and your credit card details and bank account password for identification purposes only.)
Best of all, if you join the beta team you get a bonus of 100,000 shares in the company for only $10,000.

My friends and business associates keep telling me I'm sending them infected emails, but they're still using the same old crappy AVs I got rid of, so what would they know?

Yes let your computer be infected and ignore real Anti-Virus warnings. |

From the web site, "An unbelievable feature-set packed into just 56KB of executable*! Lordy, it's a miracle! And it's free!" Well not the Pro Version. |
