Cezurity Antivirus Scanner

Scanning a computer for viruses can take hours. There are countless malware and virus types out there and their numbers increase each day. As a result, antivirus programs have to compare your files to more and more virus signatures. Cezurity Antivirus Scanner offers a quicker solution. Instead of blocking or cleaning everything that matches the signatures in a blacklist, the software blocks everything that is not in a database of trusted items, which makes system scans much faster.

Cezurity Antivirus Scanner is absolutely free and you can have it up and running in no time. It provides support for Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8, as well as various Server editions. The best part is that you won't encounter any conflicts if you have another antivirus program installed. The software doesn't have any special requirements and it won't restart your computer when you complete the installation process.

The user interface is inspired by the Windows 8 Metro theme and it has a clean and simple layout. Its home screen displays a few overall statistics, like the last scan, if scheduled scanning is enabled or if you are connected to the cloud. You can start a quick or a full scan on the right side of the interface. Once it gathers hashes and other information from scanned files, Cezurity Antivirus Scanner will transmit them to the cloud, where it will be analyzed. While scanning, the software will show you the number of processed files and you can also view a list of found malware.

The general settings menu includes a few useful options. The program can be set to scan automatically every few hours and when the system is idle. Additionally, you can set it to clean threats automatically or to prompt you for an action. It is also possible to activate a riskware detection feature, to identify potentially harmful programs. If you wish to avoid scanning certain folders, you can add them to an ignore list, in the same settings menu.
