MorePrograms and software developers or publishers displaying this security seal (”tested virus free”) are tested and certified on a regular basis to pass our security tests which help protect you from viruses, spyware, adware, malware, trojans, worm, etc. and other threats.
Why use so many antiviruses?No single anti-malware engine is perfect 100% of the time. Using multiple engines to scan for threats allows you to take advantage of the strengths of each individual engine and to guarantee the earliest possible detection. Also, the detection rate GIVEN BY THE USE OF multiple antivirus engines is far superior to that offered by just one product.
If a program is marked virus free, is it 100% safe?Although the detection rate GIVEN BY THE USE OF multiple antivirus engines is far superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee THE SECURTY OF AN APPLICATION. Currently, there is no solution that offers a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware. The information is intended as a relative indication of the security efforts of this application and its operators. This, or any other, vulnerability testing cannot and does not guarantee security.
Can I stop using an antivirus on my PC now?We recommend that you use all the time an antivirus on your PC so that it can offer you real-time protection against infections from other sources, like email or dangerous websites.
