  • 100% disinfection for In-The-Wild viruses as certified by ICSA Labs and Checkmark
  • Hourly updates and upgrades of the virus signatures
  • Scanning support for 18 types of archivers and more than 60 packers (including UPX, NeoLite, ASPack, PECrypt, pklite), as well as the majority of installation packers and mail archive types.

Cutting-Edge Technologies
Advanced Heuristic Detection
