More than 1 million consumers utilize the A-List as a reliable resource for purchasing personal computing products, according to PC/Computing. "PC/Computing's selection of ViruSweep to its prestigious A-List validates the product's growing reputation as the most comprehensive anti-virus solution available to consumers," said Elliott Lowe, senior director of product management for ViruSweep at Quarterdeck.
