Antiviruses are important and indispensable to have a preventive protection barrier against malicious and malicious software that can damage your computer, sometimes fatally. There are several antivirus that can be installed on the computer for free (see the best free antivirus in Italian) and that work in the same way as the paid ones that, in addition, provide additional control tools.
Whichever antivirus you have, you can install additional protection or an additional antivirus that improves the detection of threats and ensures greater security to the system.
Immunet AntiVirus (or ClamAV) is a rather particular program that can be installed on Windows computers and which provides protection of the computer that goes beyond the installed antivirus.
Its peculiarity is the fact that it is a cloud antivirus that uses the internet connection to recognize viruses without therefore downloading any definition on the computer.
This allows you not to worry at all about any updates, which will be carried out on the server side.
Immunet can be downloaded for free and in Italian for Windows.
It provides real-time protection against viruses and a scanner to check folders and files on your computer .
After the very quick download, you can proceed with the installation where you have to choose the free version with basic security.
Since Immunet can be used as additional protection and can be installed on a computer where there is already a normal antivirus, the free version contains everything you need and you don't need to buy the full version which is instead a real antivirus.
To use Immunet it is also convenient to register with the program because, being a cloud antivirus, that is, which relies on an online detection engine, registration allows you to share protections with other users .
Shared use increases the effectiveness of the antivirus and its ability to catch files and threats that, in some cases, the normal antivirus program does not find.
When you find a potentially harmful file, you can send it to the community for advice and reliability reviews.
On the main window you can read, at the top, the number of users who use Immunet and the number of threats from which you are protected.
The main antivirus installed on the PC is highlighted in the lower left.
On the right side instead the percentage of CPU and memory usage of the computer.
Immunet Antivirus controls and protects the PC by remaining running in the background on a computer connected to the internet and nothing needs to be configured.
The only function available on the main interface is the scan which can be very fast or thorough depending on the choice.
The update button is now used to update Immunet when a new version is released but not to update, as is the case for all normal antivirus software, the definitions of viruses that reside in the "cloud", that is, on Immunet's online servers.
In the settings, the scan can be scheduled to run at a given time, once a week.
Other options include checking files and configuring what to do when a virus is found.
Interesting is the blocking function that checks the new programs, before they are installed on the computer, to make sure that they are not dangerous for the security of the system.
If the lock is disabled, control over the program is done after installation.
Immunet is a cloud antivirus like the most famous Panda Cloud (see article: 3 Cloud Antivirus for free with protection and online scanning of malware and viruses).
