IObit Malware Fighter 7.2

Among the plethora of free antivirus tools available on the Web, IObit Malware Fighter is an option to consider. It provides a basic level of protection for your PC, detecting and blocking any malicious software trying to access to your personal and sensitive data. It can also detect already-existing threats on your computer and improve the security of your browsing experience.

Though with a more limited set of features when compared to other free antivirus utilities, IObit Malware Fighter is still a valid option for those users with a limited use of the Internet and, therefore, a low potential exposure of their data to the world. IObit has limited the use of its most powerful antivirus tools to the PRO version of the program. This one includes access to the Bitdefender database, protection against ransomware attacks, or a controlled access to your webcam.

This free version of IObit Malware Fighter, though, will use IObit’s malware database to detect and stop the most common Internet threats. It also offers you real-time protection against external and internal attacks, making sure that your hard drives are free from all kinds of malicious and suspicious programs. You’re also covered against anti-cryptocurrency mining and unwanted pop-up ads, thus improving your browsing experience.

As a bonus, the program also offers notifications whenever your homepage and default search engine have suffered any unrequested change, an on-the-fly scan of any files you download to avoid grabbing unwanted malicious files, a plug-in and toolbar cleaning tool to remove those that shouldn’t be there, and DNS protection against unauthorized changes of its settings.
