    As I said, I used the software before and was happy with it aside from conflicts with uTorrent and Sandboxie. That was 5 years ago. They have a monthly report dissecting the latest Windows updates and claim whether the exploit was protected or not pre-patch by the software. No one has said that those claims were false. As far as Steve Gibson is concerned, having listened to his podcast, Security Now, for the last 500 episodes, he is very discriminating and thorough when investigating a product. He explains how it works, where it falls short, and where it excels in great detail in easy to understand terms breaking those down even further including background on the concepts and interaction with the system. He has been well known in the industry for decades and has been above reproach. That is why I value his opinion in matters such as these. As well, he does not accept payment or solicitation for his reviews, they are usually by listener demand or because of a unique feature.

    I have made my decision in this case and will let you know how it goes, good or bad. As far as other alternatives, I see people praise just about every similar product out there as much as I find disdain. I personally had bad experience with Symantec in that the version we were using at another location, the clients would just lose their license credentials randomly and not update. Also, I can't find it reasonable that if a corporate software is so great, how is it that the home versions are so terrible in function and detection. There is a lot less to single system security than network security to deal with. I have had issues with all the major brand software in their residential software and feel it is possible that people just are going with the name because they are too afraid to try something new in this sort of environment. Fortunately, I am only replacing AVG in this instance and there are only 7PCs and a server on the network. They had no problems even with AVG, so I don't feel I am taking a risk considering opinions on alternatives are so divided.

    I still would like feedback on what other people think is the best and more importantly why.
