Antivirus Review
ProDot brings an efficient antivirus that works well on both old and latest PCs. It is a light software that doesn’t affect PC performance and provides protection against malware and spam. It comes with real-time protection that guards your PC against virus attacks instantly. With the unique heuristic analyzer, it identifies future viruses. Its database upgrades frequently so that you get comprehensive protection against all the latest viruses.
The antivirus has firewall that blocks unwanted applications from accessing your internet as well as its USB-guard scans all the devices (including USB drives, SD cards, etc.) being connected to the computer in real time and fixes the issues, if any. The inbuilt email scanner protects from malicious objects and keeps the PC clean and tidy. It automatically analyzes, detects and quarantines more than 90+ percent malwares received every day, keeping the PC completely secure, almost in real time.
The Protector anti-virus comes with an easy to understand and operate interface. One can easily scan the PC using the software. In our EICAR Test, in which 8 different files (4 for HTTP connection and 4 for HTTP connection) were there, it blocked 4 files from downloading and removed the rest of malwares while scanning later. In our second test, it was able to scan 150 MB test folder, deployed with more than 27,000 files in it, in approx 2 min and consumed memory around 45 MB. Next we checked the response of the suite against the 25 zero-day malicious websites. It prevented us from visiting 18 of these websites.
