Still, I am an aware internet user that is security concious and concious of what I surf - the bigger test would be to give it to my brother-in-law (or another non aware family member) let them surf to all the crap they surf to and see how it goes then
I installed it on my in-laws' pc ... they surf also to alot of those crap games sites and others with lot's of nice advertising and spyware thingies.

It works reasonably well, the only problem related to my in-laws is the pop-ups from this "defender" ... they always click yes if the pop-up shows itself asking what to do wit a "threath", without reading the text ...so in that respect I should think ...does it actualy help... and to be clear they are NOT admin on their box and even with all the protection they still manage to get "some" spy and malware on it...albeit being it much less then before.

Ok it will stop most of the crap but if the user is not "aware" or doesn't understand the software that is installed to protect them, then what ?

I'm sure in the future there will be programs that are more "automatic", but then the problem is that you might not have enough control
