IObit Malware Fighter

IObit Malware Fighter is a powerful, advanced malware & spyware removal utility that detects, removes the deepest infections, and protects your PC from various potential spyware, adware, trojans, keyloggers, bots, worms, and hijackers, in real time. The app utilises the world-leading Bitdefender antivirus engine, IObit Anti-malware engine, and Anti-ransomware Engine. With these tools IObit Malware Fighter is able to detect the most complex spyware and malware in a very fast and efficient way. IObit's Malware Fighter is powerful anti-malware tool that has simple, yet pleasing interface that is well designed. The main window consists of four basic options: Scan, Protect, Update, and Action Center. The app’s other settings and features are mainly hidden and live in the settings panel to the right. The rest of the window is crisp and clean with scanning settings and options that are displayed as on/off switches. The new Safe Box and the improved Anti-ransomware Engine double protect your PC from the latest ransomware attacks. Besides, MBR Guard is added to protect your PC against the malicious attacks targeting MBR, like GoldenEye/Petya attacks. Another noteworthy feature is the Notification Center that offers a 1-click solution to view and manage all important messages. During testing IObit's Malware Fighter made no claims of false positives upon detecting the usual temp files cached in the browser. The scan speeds were decent considering drive size and file structure. One notable downside is the app classifies the absence of Advanced SystemCare and Smart Defrag as 'problems.' This wouldn’t be too bad in itself, however, there is no option to clear these warnings and upon ‘fixing’ them an automatic download and installation of IObit's other apps occurred. Despite IObit’s shameless self publicising, if you need an easy-to-use, lightweight malware scanner, then Malware Fighter is a good choice.

Bitdefender Antivirus Free

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition has been designed from ground up towards enabling you to do whatever you enjoy doing most with your computer, while staying 100% safe from e-threats. Bitdefender uses its own proprietary technologies, while also improving on basic ones which it then integrates for maximum protection. Features: Real-time Shield - The real time shield is designed to protect access to the entire system. This means that files are scanned as they are accessed or copied. For example, the files you just downloaded from the Internet are scanned immediately. Active Virus Control - Active Virus Control is an innovative proactive detection technology that is able to detect new potential threats for which default protection has not yet been released, very fast and accurately, thus providing an essential protection layer. Intrusion Detection System - This technology makes sure that applications trying to access the Internet or the network are not masked e-threats, by marking them whenever its behavior is suspect and by stopping them if the score becomes high. B-Have - B-HAVE proactively detects unknown threats that other products miss by analyzing applications behavior in a safe environment. If no malicious actions are detected, B-HAVE starts the program normally; otherwise, it will automatically quarantine or delete it. HTTP Scanning - Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition also scans all the links you are accessing from your browser, checking them for various scams or credit card phishing attempts and blocking them when they are unsafe. Anti-rootkit - This technology is used to scan and block rootkits, a stealthy type of software, often malicious, designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection and enable continued privileged access to a computer.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus

Kaspersky Anti-Virus is among the very best antivirus software available on the market. It delivers essential, real-time protection against all manner of threats. The app goes beyond standard virus protection to secure you against potentially hazardous malware such as spyware, root-kits, security exploits and ransomware. Kaspersky Anti-Virus uses intelligent scanning and small, frequent updates in order to deliver real-time, efficient protection from the latest malware threats across the Internet. Key Features include: Protection from viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, adware. Scans files, email, and Internet traffic. Protects from unknown threats. Analyzes browser vulnerabilities. Disables links to malware/phishing sites. Global threat monitoring. Keylogger blocking. Automatic database updates. Free technical support. The interface consists of a main window with four borderless buttons aligned horizontally, labeled Scan, Update, Safe Money, and Parental Control. These areas will change color from green, to yellow and then to red if there is an issue with security . If that occurs, you can click a link for solutions to the security status problem. Overall, Kaspersky Anti-Virus maintains an superb level of protection, coupled with high performance and usability. The only downside we can see is that although the technical support is free, it isn't available 24/7. Apart from that, Kaspersky Anti-Virus provides excellent all-round protection, with a minimal impact on your system. Note: This is a 30-day commercial trial.
