Protect your PC against rootkits, zero-days exploits, and other threats--without interfering with your anti-virus software.

If you're looking for maximum system protection, particularly against rootkits that can hide themselves from many pieces of anti-virus software, give ThreatFire AntiVirus a try. It's designed to work along with your existing anti-virus software to protect you against hidden rootkits as well as "zero day" exploits, which are threats that anti-virus software doesn't yet know about.

ThreatFire AntiVirus program protects against unknown threats by using behavioral analysis rather than anti-virus signatures to scan for threats. It's a lightweight scanner, so that it won't bog down your system by using too many system resources or RAM. It's customizable, so that you can set the level of protection, ranging on a scale of one to five.

Note: There is a Pro version of the program available, in addition to this free one. The Pro version includes PC Tools AntiVirus.
