I am using it and so far I like it. It offers one thing that most of the other free av's don't, at least not that I've found, you can schedule the scans whenever you like. I have mine set to scan at 2am. It's not obtrusive, and kind of runs in the background like threat fire.

Both AVG and AntiVir support scheduling scans whenever you like. They also do automatic updates. Which free anti-virus apps did you try that didn't have built-in scheduling?

Peace...
