This is FALSE advertisement. I have down loaded it several times and (true) it will scan BUT (false) it will not remove the ads it found until you pay up $30.00. PLEASE stop advertising that it is free.

I`m surprised Windows Defender is in there, in view of the poor performance reported from numerous sources.
