Every computer user should understand the dangers of browsing the web without adequate protection. Viruses and spyware applications can infiltrate the system and you will not even notice them until it is too late. There are many antivirus programs on the market, but you will never find one that keeps your computer clean with a 100% guarantee. If you can not decide which antivirus software to use, you should try VikingPCHealth before anything else. Its advanced cloud scanning and multi-vendor features offer a strong protection.

The software is available for multiple Windows platforms, in both 32 and 64-bit versions. After downloading the software, you can run it straight away, without going through a setup process.

VikingPCHealth is designed to work like a wizard. You will have to go through a number of stages, by clicking a series of Next buttons. During these stages, the software will scan your computer for malware and it will remove any threat it finds. When you launch the program, you can either click the Next button to start a default scan or click a small arrow, next to this button, to reveal the option for a quick scan. If you are an advanced user, you can go to the general settings panel and enable a third option for an early warning scoring.

The files on your hard drive will be scanned during the second stage. A results list will be populated, during the scan, if your files are infected. Options for ignoring, deleting or sending to a quarantine can be found next to each item in the list. The software lets you know what type of threats it finds (malware, trojan, tracking cookie, etc) and it will display this information in the same results list.

After deciding what to do with each file, you may click the Next button, and VikingPCHealth will execute the selected actions. The total number of detected threats, scanned objects and other statistics can be found in a report, when you reach the final step. The information can be exported as an XML file as well. A tabbed settings panel can be accessed during the first step. It contains advanced options for selecting a scanning method, scheduling automatic scans, configuring and using proxies and more.

VikingPCHealth may sound too simple, but it is not. It is based on state of the art cloud scanning and multi-vendor security. To make it more clear, the utility provides you with the combined potential of multiple antivirus vendors, such as Bitdefender, Dr.Web, G Data, Emsisoft and IKARUS.

Pros

VikingPCHealth performs thorough scans, powered by various antivirus services. It offers the same features as other similar utilities, strong protection against malware and it is very easy to use.

Cons

The schedule feature is not very flexible. Your system is safe with VikingPCHealth. Its advanced features will provide you with strong protection against any virus or spyware threats.
