Main Features

There are three types of scan available. Flash scan is only available for full version. Quick scan takes around 7-9 minutes to finish with few applications running. You can run quick scan anytime you want, without disturbing your current work. Full scan will scan all files you have selected and it takes around 1 hour+ to finish, depends on the number of files you have. I would suggest you to run a full scan weekly or once every two weeks. It works surprisingly well with its advanced heuristics engine which detects malwares that my existing anti-virus software unable to detect. Full scans too takes very little resources to run, thus its effect on your computer performance is minimal.
