Threat Fire

Does anyone use--"Threat Fire" AV--or have any experience with it.

I've read an article about it working in conjunction with other AV's and the article and their website claim that the Threat Fire greatly improves the malware & spyware capabilities.

Any opinions or suggestions pro or con please.

Paul

I've not used it; never felt the need.

However, I have read a number of posts here and there on the 'net about issues with downloads failing where ThreatFire is installed.

Try it and let us know what you think.

My System

ThreatFire response

I tried it but seems to be a little annoying and slow, so I took it off. I tested Ecair: it did not detect it.
