Protect Your PC with IObit Malware Fighter 2

IObit Malware Fighter 2 adds a variety of features that update the software for modern times, including a Metro-style UI, cloud security and full Windows 8 support.

Users who’ve previously used IObit Malware Fighter will immediately notice the new interface, which is a complete overhaul of the software’s aging UI. To keep itself up to date, IObit has opted for a Metro UI interface inspired by Windows 8. This ensures it integrates well with the new Windows interface and also makes the software easier to use on a touchscreen device.

IObit’s interface is not just meant to look more modern. It’s also meant to provide protection without confusing users. To this end, the company has implemented a simple “Fix All” button. This is something that has appeared in previous IObit software, and it’s a nice feature to carry over.

The Fix All option covers four main areas; scan, protect, update and action center. Protect and Update will generally be correct unless the user purposely turns off automatic updates and protection. Scan runs a quick scan for threats, a feature that can be scheduled to occur at a specific time or happen whenever your PC is idle. And finally there’s the action center, which highlights problems (like malware that has been quarantined) that need additional user input.

Pro Version - Cloud Security

Perhaps the most significant feature added to IObit Malware Fighter Pro 2 is Cloud Security. For those unfamiliar with the concept, cloud security uses the power of collective analysis to help identify files that are troublesome. If a file behaves suspiciously on one PC, that information is uploaded to IObit’s server and can be used to flag similar or identical files on other PCs. Also, users can directly upload a file that they believe suspicious for analysis before uploading it.

This is a solid update that offers improved protection, a better interface and easy one-button protection. Anyone looking for a simple, intuitive anti-malware solution should check it out.
