Product Features

PC Tools AntiVirus' main features include the following:

Real-time protection against computer viruses and related malware threats

PC Tools AntiVirus detects and eradicates viruses and related malware threats that attempt to enter computer systems by means of file transfer through storage media, e-mail, the Internet and other network protocols. Protection is provided by means of on-demand system scanning or real-time (OnGuard) detection of threats.

A user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI)

PC Tools AntiVirus' GUI is intuitive and consistent with other PC Tools products.

On the Main Status screen, the main Action buttons allow you to scan your computer for viruses and related malware threats, activating or deactivating OnGuard protection, and access the application settings.
Buttons on the left allow you to access the main functional areas of the application, including the Main Status screen, the System Scan screen, the OnGuard screen, the application Settings screens and additional information about the application.

A Smart Update feature to keep virus definitions and other feature enhancements up to date

Smart Updates are released frequently, allowing you to protect your system against the latest virus and related malware threats, as well as improvements to PC Tools AntiVirus' functionality. By running Smart Update regularly, you can help keep your system free of new infections.

Ability to quarantine and restore items that have been detected

PC Tools AntiVirus allows you either to remove detected viruses and related malware from your system or to quarantine them into a contained area. The majority of infections that have been quarantined can be restored at a later time. You can customize PC Tools AntiVirus either to remove or to quarantine malware items fixed in a scan.

Logging of File Scans conducted by PC Tools AntiVirus

All File Scans conducted by PC Tools AntiVirus can be logged, providing a record of when each scan was conducted; the infections that were identified; and when infections were disinfected, quarantined or removed.
