This program was downloaded and installed inside a Windows 7 guest inside VMWare Workstation. It took about 2 minutes to download and install which is very fast.  It speaks to the small footprint the software has.

After install I was asked to update the program which took about 30 seconds.

Once completed a scan automatically started.

The interface is been clean and moving around is very simple.

Performance
