On some of these antivirus programs it is possible to decide to switch heuristic analysis on or off.This program would appear to be a useful supplement to these, relying possibly on an in-depth heuristic analysis of unusual changes and/or known behaviours of malware components. As such, in my opinion, it should be used as a complimentary partner to any such defensive applications rather than as a substitute for them - On the proviso that a conflict does not occur between it and such a program of course.

Most Anti virus packs that are good should come with this and just by not having it tells you how good the product is. I have heard of this.
