Like any other similar anti-virus softwares, the Rising Antivirus 2006 can detect and remove viruses, trojan and other malicious programs. The advantage of this anti-virus software is its real time monitoring system. But personally, what I really like about this system is the optimization for CPU which improves the efficiency of virus scanning and real-time monitoring. What this means is, no more lagging in the computer system when you run a thorough scan on your computer. I do not have enough information to clarify yet but apparently version 18.52 is still incomplete and may still have bugs but I’ll keep you posted.
