Review

This review applies to version 4.1 The latest version of this software will soon be reviewed by our informers.

ThreatFire 4.1 is an ideal tool to complement the security on your PC. The application works together with your antivirus, antispyware and firewall, and it doesn't have any trouble working with them. Nowadays it's very difficult for an antivirus software to be efficient at 100%, because everyday hundreds of virus appear around the world, and discover them is an extremely hard task. That's why now you can download an easy to use and free tool, that will help you to improve your PC security tremendously.

But, what does ThreatFire do exactly?
First of all, you have to understand that ThreatFire works different from your antivirus. Traditional antivirus programs scan your computer looking for threats, but using an older "signature" technology. It means that if it finds an exact match between a threat and one of its "signatures", then it will perform an action against that threat. But, what happens if the threat has “morphed” to evade the scan?
ThreatFire instead, uses behavioral analysis of signatures to detect malicious activity. This means it can protect you from new threats that your antivirus doesn't even know yet.

What's new on ThreatFire 4.1?
This amazing tool has new features. On this version, actions required from user have been reduced to minimal. Now with a patent-pending technology, is smarter than before and if it finds a new threat, the application will know exactly what to do, so you won't have to attend those annoying alert messages asking you to take a decision, unless is extremely necessary.
ThreatFire now works only with behavioral protection. A signature-based virus scanner is not supported anymore. ThreatFire has enhanced its Rootkit detection. A new technology in its rootkit scanner will help you be protected from deeply hidden threats.
Advantages
  • Free additional protection for your security.
  • It works perfectly with your default antivirus.
Disadvantages
  • None.
