In the reviews I have seen it generally rates higher than AVG, but not quite
as good as any of the paid programs. Here's one test result. I would look
for more before making up your mind.

Nothing is 100% and there will never be a consensus, if there were we
would all be using the same product. I use it at highest heuristic
setting and am happy.
