PC Orion Review

In short, PC Orion scans for and removes adware and spyware. In greater detail, this includes key loggers, activity monitoring software, web site loggers, web parasites, cookies, and other identity thieving, credit card number stealing programs.

Updates to the service come out frequently and can be set to download automatically or you can simply request notification and download manually. PC Orion does not block popup ads that are served from the websites you surf, only those coming from spyware/adware. Try a separate popup blocker for this added convenience.

PC Orion currently runs only on Windows 98/NT4/Me/2000/XP. They state that there are no plans to offer software and services for Mac, Linux, or any other non-Windows platforms.

Popularity & Customer Satisfaction

Popularity / Customer Satisfaction
Its users are loyal, claiming it finds and eliminates more spyware and adware than the popular NoAdware package. If this is true, it might justify the higher price. This site is consistently in most customer-reviewers' top 3 lists (usually in second or third spot, switching off with Xoft - also reviewed on this site)

 
 
Ease of Use

Ease of Use

$39.95 per year! (NOT a lifetime membership)
They're promoting this as a "Sale" on their usual $49.95 rate) - not the cheapest (nor the best). This is for one license on one computer; for additional computers you must pay the fee again for each additional license.
