    It sounds like from your review this product rates as mediocre. I personally cannot justify spending any money on anti-virus products these days for home users, when there are other free ones available, with less bloat, and just as good or better of a detection rate as the paid versions.
    With safe browsing habits and a bit of common sense, you can be just as well protected with windows built-in firewall (in windows 7 it's also a two-way firewall) and a free anti-virus program. Microsoft Security Essentials (my favorite), AVG, AntiVir all come to mind.
