F-Prot Antivirus 6.0.5.1


Antivirus software incorporating RealTime Protector, Command-Line Scanner, OnDemand Scanner, Scheduler & Updater.

- RealTime Protector.
One of the central features of F-Prot Antivirus for Windows is the RealTime Protector, which monitors all files accessed by your system and denies access to infected, suspicious or malicious files that may harm your system in any way. The RealTime Protector starts up with the computer, and stays running in the background. The RealTime Protector is always on the look-out, scanning files as they are downloaded, opened, copied, etc. ready to intercept any potential security threat.
- OnDemand Scanner.
The OnDemand Scanner is the user's first port of call for program actions, settings, and update monitoring. From here you can scan your system for viruses, perform multiple scan tasks in Advanced mode, and start any of the components included with F-Prot Antivirus. Also, F-Prot Antivirus checks for new virus signature files at regular intervals whenever the system is online. The virus signature file update status is displayed conspicuously within the OnDemand Scanner, so you can see at a glance whether updates are needed.
- Command-Line Scanner.
The Command-Line Scanner is included in F-Prot Antivirus for Windows and can be extremely useful if a virus infection ever leads to Windows becoming inoperable.

Evaluation period: 30 days.
