Every time you connect to the Internet, browse websites, download files, read emails, do online banking and a number of other things you can potentially get bombarded with viruses and spyware, or become a fraud or identity theft victim. That’s why it’s so important to keep your computer fully protected.

Auslogics Antivirus is one of the most comprehensive antiviruses available on the market. Reliable and feature-packed, it will protect you from viruses, trojans, spyware, identity theft, and other known and unknown threats, and can also operate in Safe Mode to remove resilient viruses. Like all Auslogics’ products it’s fast, doesn’t affect computer performance, and has sleek Windows 7-style user interface.

Let’s have a look at what it has to offer:

1. Real-time Protection

Auslogics Antivirus offers constant real-time PC protection. It scans all accessed files, emails, web sites, and IM chats for possible threats and blocks any attempts to modify system files. The program uses both heuristics and a virus/spyware database to provide maximum protection. Its Active Virus Control feature protects from new threats by analysing the activity of all running applications.

2. Privacy Control

In the past few years identity theft has become a huge issue. That’s why it’s so important to have software that successfully blocks spyware, trojans, keyloggers, phishing, and other data theft tools.  Auslogics Antivirus Privacy Control does all that and more. It will protect all your sensitive data, like bank card numbers, Internet banking details,  and all your passwords, from being stolen by hackers.

Privacy Control offers four-level protection:

• Identity Control protects your confidential data by analysing all outgoing traffic.
• Registry Control monitors the Registry and warns you if any applications are trying to modify it, so that they can be executed on Windows startup.
• Cookie Control doesn’t allow web sites to put cookies onto your computer without your permission.
• Script Control asks for your permission for any scripts to be executed.

3. Network Module

This feature was designed for those who have home network and are concerned about its security. You can set a master computer from which you will be able to run scans, view logs, fix security issues, and update the program on all network computers.

4. Customization Options

Auslogics Antivirus has extensive customization options that make it an ideal fit for both novice and experienced users, as well as gamers and laptop users. You can either select a profile that best describes the way you use you computer (Typical or Gamer), or select the Custom profile and configure the settings to fit your particular needs.

Apart from that, Auslogics Antivirus has different modes, that will suit most users:

• Game Mode makes sure that Auslogics Antivirus will not interrupt you when you are playing games. It starts automatically when you run an application from a trusted game list or when an application goes to full screen. Game Mode disables all alerts, pop-ups, and scheduled scans, and becomes unintrusive without reducing computer protection level.

• Laptop Mode starts automatically every time your laptop switches to battery power. It will minimize the program’s power consumption while keeping your laptop secure.

• Novice Mode will suit computer beginners and those who don’t want to fiddle with antivirus settings. It’s extremely easy to use – all security issues can be fixed by clicking on the Fix All Issues button.

• Intermediate Mode user interface has five tabs – a tab for each security module.  This mode is for those who have better computer knowledge, or want to have more customization options.

• Expert Mode interface offers the most complete list of settings, as well as extensive customization and monitoring options. This mode allows to manually configure each function of the program.

Auslogics Antivirus is compatible with Windows 7/Vista/2008/XP/2003, 32-bit and 64-bit and dual-core CPU.  You can download a free unrestricted 30-day trial version here. If you like it, you can then buy a one year license for $29.95 USD.
