Read an article on that; just checks for a short list of known government spyware. Probably useful if you're helping Tibetan refugees or something like that, but compared to the benefits of an antivirus program, hardly worth the effort for most of us.

Still, nice to know your computer is Clear. But when will it make it to OT VII?

Particularly considering that there is no known (U.S.) government
spyware. At least, none that is known among people who have not been
subjected to sexual abuse by aliens in UFOs and who are not
involuntarily wearing government spy transmitters in their brains.
