There is a free version of this new tool. It does not include the real time protection (not sure on auto updates in the free) but that is OK as the on demand scanner itself is worth having. All functions work and it even saves a log for analysis. Don't be fooled by the speed in which it scans. As I have said I was along for the Beta testing and it is an exceptional tool. Enjoy.
