| Installation | Rating  |
The installation of a-squared is simple and fast. This software installed flawlessly along side another anti-virus software for the initial testing of the installation. After removing and reinstalling the software without any other protection software, the software again installed without error. I checked to see how the uninstall did, and the initial uninstall left no traces of the software in the system registry.
The installation is a standard installation that immediately ask you to check for updates prior to starting the software. The following section illustrates all of the steps taken to complete the installation process.

Emsi a-squared performed fast and without error when I tested it against several controlled malware and virus signatures. The software immediately saw these threats and quarantined them. The software deleted the files and cleaned the threats without any problems. a-squared offers a registration and log in information for support for all users and has over two dozen articles on security, viruses, malware and threats available on-line at no charge.
