number of times
it was recomended here in the forum, but as for myself, I am not exactly sure what it should do. I mean an antivirus software which has no visrus signatures database or if it has it is only some kb in size? While other antivirus products update frequently, often more then once a day, this one seems to live without any signature updates completely. So it will use some sort of heuristics sure. I dont say that any reasonable software has to be hundreds of megabytes in size to do some work, but here it is somehow too much out of proportion, the install files of some 1.3mb or so and that is all? So I have here some doubt that this is doing anything useful for the moment.
Or can someone explain what this software is for and how does it work?

Dead Project
It's a dead project. As viruses change and grow, it becomes less and less useful. As it's nearly a year out of date now, it would only offer a false sense of security.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Ironically
McAfee and ClamWin went berserk when I attempted the download:

I think use of this product could be problematic.
