The interface for ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS is simple and straightforward. The program is far from cluttered, but has a variety of tools and features at-hand. There are three basic scans you can complete; a full scan, quick scan, or a customized scan. Custom scans allow the user to decide exactly what to scan and what to disregard.
Navigating through the program was not a problem, and scheduling scans or adjusting custom settings was also intuitive. And while we recommend performing scans (especially full system scans) while you are away from your computer, the program does allow you to do quite a bit of multitasking while a scan is in progress. We didn’t encounter much noticeable slowdown while running an antivirus scan.
ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS is good at what it does, and effectively scans and cleans your computer. When a potential threat is located, you are shown a graphical representation of the threat level, and you can click on each file to see specific information on it.
ParetoLogic’s Anti-Virus PLUS helps detect and even deter all sorts of malware, including viruses, spyware, rootkits, and malware from scripts or drive-by downloading. Anti-Virus PLUS also checks for malware in compressed files and can be set to automatically delete and clean any found threats.
Anti-Virus PLUS by ParetoLogic has been qualified by the West Coast Labs and received a checkmark certification, verifying that the software was able to detect all current known viruses, prevents virus replication, and generated no false positives (suspecting files as malicious when they really are not).
The ParetoLogic virus definition databases are constantly being updated to protect from the most recent threats, including newly developed threats targeting social networking site users. These database definition updates are free, as are any program updates. All updates can be performed manually, or you can just set Anti-Virus PLUS to update automatically. While we tested the program, ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS found and updated new database definitions a few times.
While Anti-Virus PLUS didn’t have all the features we found in some of the higher-rated antivirus software, the program has a healthy lineup of advanced features and they work well. ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS scans can be set up manually or scheduled to run automatically, and at the times that work best for you. Even the type of scan can be customized.
One of the unique advanced features that ParetoLogic incorporated in their Anti-Virus PLUS is cyclic detection. Some malware is able to write a new entry on your registry even after it has been detected and blocked. The new entry causes another popup alert to display, and just keeps repeating. Cyclic detection in Anti-Virus PLUS identifies the pattern and will disable the block option temporarily, allowing you to run a system scan to remove it.
We had no problems installing, initializing and running ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS. You can download the program for free and perform a system scan, but you are unable to remove the files until you purchase the software and obtain a product key. This process is easy, and had us scanning and cleaning our computer in no time.
The actual Anti-Virus PLUS software contains a detailed help file in the program, but there are also a number of useful resources online. Their support section includes several FAQs, and you can submit any questions on issues not covered in the knowledgebase after you register for support (free). ParetoLogic even has an online community where you can provide feedback, read their blog, and stay up to date on internet threats.
ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS is a complete and competent antivirus program. The software is easy to setup and use, and can defend your computer behind the scenes with realtime protection. Anti-Virus PLUS provides users real PC protection with effective detection and removal of viruses, spyware, adware, rootkits, and other malware.
