Ashampoo Anti-Virus is a software for protecting your computer and the data stored in it against harmful components. Ashampoo Anti-Virus is equipped with two scanning engines (Bitdefender and Emsisoft), allowing you to comprehensively protect your computer against viruses, Trojans, worms, malware and rootkit components, bots, as well as advertising components and theft of confidential information. In addition to on-demand scanning functions that can cover the entire system, the system area and the locations indicated by the user, the software also offers an automatic access scanner in the background to control potentially infected files during saving, copying, etc.

In addition, the user gets the modules (which make up the real-time protection mechanism) for searching for hidden processes and files, monitoring entries added on the motorway and installing LSP/BHO components and changes in the hosts file. However, the possibilities of Ashampoo Anti-Virus do not end there. The user is provided with a set of several useful tools, which allow to take care of confidential data security and privacy.

These include the ability to irrevocably delete files, delete files from your browser cache, cookies and the history of the web pages you visit, scan NTFS drives for invisible streams from Windows Explorer, and view and stop selected processes. There was also a quarantine mechanism where viral files are stored, automatic updates - both the program itself, as well as virus signatures, and the option of scheduling tasks, which allows you to plan, among other things, cyclical scanning of the system.
