a-squared Anti-Malware

a-squared Anti-Malware protects your PC from trojans, viruses, worms, dialers, adware and spyware.

It combines two scanners: The a-squared Anti-Spyware, and the Ikarus Anti-Virus engine, without requiring a doubling of the scan duration (the notes that the two engines are integrated "on the lowest level").

a-squared Anti-Malware checks signatures for known malware patterns before starting a program, and also constantly monitors the behavior of all active programs and raises an alarm as soon as something suspicious happens. Signature updates are provided at least 5 times per day.

When a malware infection is detected, the automatic scan puts the found objects under quarantine or deletes them. Anti-Malware also holds options for experts to detect and delete malware manually. For this purpose, the integrated system analysis tool HiJackFree is included.
