With all the security threats that are out there, it would be foolish to use your Windows PC and browse the web without antivirus protection. If you’re looking for a powerful yet easy to use security solution for your PC, I recommend you to give Element Anti-Virus a try. Besides providing real-time protection against malware, this application can also protect against scams, back up your system, tune it for optimal performance, and defragment your disks.

To get started with Element Anti-Virus, you will first have to download a 42.5Mb archive. Extract the executable inside and run it, and Element Anti-Virus will automatically be installed on your PC (32 and 64-bit editions of Windows 7, Vista, and XP are supported). Once the installation process completes, Element Anti-Virus will launch automatically and will start protecting your machine.

The Element Anti-Virus interface, which features a dark and good looking theme, will not pose a problem to anyone, even to novice computer users. Buttons for running scans, accessing various tasks and settings, launching the system monitor, and getting help are at the top. In the middle there are buttons that let you easily view the status of the computer security, backups, PC tuneup, and identity protection.

While Element Anti-Virus is running, it provides real-time protection against viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, adware, rootkits, and other security threats. The heuristic engine is updated regularly and scans are run automatically to ensure your system is safe. Of course, you can also run on-demand scans if you want to. You can choose between a full scan, quick scan, or custom scan.

Element Anti-Virus also backs up your system automatically and thus safeguards against data loss accidents. Advanced users will be glad to know that they can play with some advanced backup schemes and settings.

Please note that Element Anti-Virus is only free to try. The trial version runs in reduced functionality mode (non-critical signature updates will not be downloaded, certain malware will not be removed).

Element Anti-Virus is a complete and powerful security solution that will efficiently protect your system against all sorts of threats.

Pros

Works with 32 and 64- bit editions of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. Launches and automatically starts protecting your system once the installation process is complete. Provides real-time protection against all sorts of threats. Run on-demand scans or let the application automatically run them. Backs up your system in case a data loss accident should occur. You can tune the security solution for optimal performance. Protects you from scams and phishing. Immunization, file shredding, tracks eraser, disk defragmentation, PC tuneup. Good looking interface.

Cons

The trial version runs in reduced functionality mode.
