Jason,
                I don't know what you mean by "let down". 
The "bugs" do get in/thru often and then if your lucky
the "anti" software deals with them when you run it.
It doesn't always work so perfectly.  It wastes time...
much time....and slows down productive use of the
computer....more computer power is used to provide
protection than is used to do the desired computer
function.
