I tried BDPRO it does have a nice design but it has too many drawbacks.

First, it doesn't always clean out the Windows\Temp folder where it decompresses files like archives and compressed executables, I found over 200MB in the folder.

Second, there's some poor info in the program -- it doesn't tell you which virus definition your using or the date it was created on, so if you're used to McAfee or Norton that may be a bit annoying -- it was for me.

The firewall even when properly configured doesn't always pass the test as providing stealth protection according to ShieldsUp at GRC.com
