Anyone know its resource usage? Looks good and price is affordable.
Does it use its own engine/firewall?

Afaik, it will be tested in 2007 at AV-Comparatives.

1. It uses around 45-50 MBs normally and an extra 35 MBs when using the On-Demand scanner. The CPU usage is less than 15%.

2. Yes, it uses its own Antivirus Engine and Firewall.
