Integrate the defense of your PC/ SERVER to detect attacks from actually circulating viruses/malware
| We report that all really circulating viruses/malware are identified and, in many cases, even removed by Vir.IT eXplorer Lite -FREE Edition- thanks to the following special features: |

We recommend to use it as a supplement to the AntiVirus already in use as it does not conflict or slow down the system but allows to significantly increase security in terms of identification and remediation of infected files;
- identifies and, in many cases, even removes most of the actual circulating viruses/malware or, alternatively, allows them to be sent to the C.R.A.M. Anti-Malware Research Center for further analysis to update Vir.It eXplorer;
- thanks to Intrusion Detection technology, also made available in the Lite version of Vir.IT eXplorer, the software is able to report any new-generation viruses/malware that have set in automatically and proceed to send the reported files to TG Soft's C.R.A.M.
