Any computer, whether it's connected to the Internet or not, is exposed to a wide range of malicious threats such as adware, Trojans, worms, spyware, etc. The best thing you can do to protect your PC from these infections is to install capable anti-virus tools. Prevx might prove to be a good solution.

One aspect that I believe could motivate you into trying this application is the fact that it offers a very fast and efficient scanning process. It is a quite obvious advantage compared to other similar programs.

As expected, Prevx will display the found infected files and let you decide which ones to keep or remove from the PC. A feature that might come in handy in this particular case is the possibility to undo the cleanup when you accidentally deleted an important file.

I had some problems configuring the Heuristics settings as I wasn't aware about this term; I had to check the help guide from the homepage of the developer. The lack of an integrated help manual might prove to be an important disadvantage, especially if you don't have an Internet connection.

Overall, I was pleased about Prevx's performance and, most important, the fact that it can easily run along with another anti-virus tool for a much stronger file protection.
