Quick Review: AOL Active Virus Shield

I just recently installed AOL’s Anti-virus and I am quite impressed with it eventhough it has minor issues which I think forgivable at this early stage of its release.

Impressions:
1. AVS didn’t restarted well after I installed it.
2. CPU usage reached 20mb when AVS was set to High and while doing a full scan.
3. License is only limited for one year. That means I need to re-register to receive further updates.
4. It detected mIRC as a riskware which is TRUE. However, when I choose to skip it, AVS continued to detect it so I uncheck potentially dangerous software just to stop the notice.
5. The exclusion link did not work.

I hope the AOL guys will address the bugs and fix it on their next release. Nevertheless, this is a good AV for those who doesn’t have one yet.
