It was introduced as one of the Popup-Ad-Spyware-Blockers categories by Softpedia. Although it seems to be the variety of AntiVirus GOLD as long as the screen shot was seen, how is it? The address of the formal page of this software is as follows. http://www.antivirusgolden.com/ Screenshot http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/AntivirusGolden-Screenshot-40439.html
