Been using this app since 2014 on my rmbp and so far I'm confident in surfing all those 'you know what' sites without much issues. Once in a while scan the hardisk to remove all those unwanted parasites. |

They came out with the version 2.0 and most current now is 3.0 which no longer free. Only difference between 1.2.6 and 3.0 is the upgraded interface (the free version is simpler) but both scan with the same database.yeah installted it trial 30 days premium but the license rm180 per year though anyhow with regards to my problem, it is gone after updated to high sierra but my macbook become lag pula |
