Reviews for Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2016
In my opinion, good antivirus software comes from companies focused on making security software like AVAST, ESET and Kaspersky. With this in mind, you can guess that I was a bit pessimistic when trying out Ashampoo Antivirus 2016.
At a Glance
Everything looks neat and professional. Ashampoo have been in the software development arena for long enough to know that first impressions matter. Ashampoo Antivirus 2016 has a neat layout and you won’t find it hard to scan your computer or configure the automatic scans and protections.
But how well does it actually perform against real malware. Since there were no 3rd party test results online, I turned to my VM, installed the antivirus and gave it a some malware to fight. Here is what I found out.
Pros
Impressive malware blocking
Even though I prefer an antivirus that scans and identifies malware before execution, the fact that Ashampoo had no problem in blocking malware every moment I tried to open it is quite impressive. The only disturbing this is the antivirus will let the malware lie till you try to execute and will just block it rather than quarantine or delete it.
Further settings lets you choose what to do with malware
Unlike most of the antivirus that comes with the sensible native choice of quarantine or delete, Ashampoo lets you choose what to do with malware or infected files. You can quarantine, block, delete or do nothing. This is quite the flexible options especially to people who use software cracks and exploits.
URL blocking and suspicious behavior detection
The most impressive thing about Ashampoo Antivirus 2016 is its ability to block malicious or blacklisted URL. I had a sample of 80 blacklisted URLs known to host malicious exploits on the web. The antivirus gave me a reliable 88 percent protection. Not so good but better than nothing.
The malicious behavior suite checks any application or process that does unusual things. For instance, multiple connections to malicious servers might trigger a warning. A chat app trying to use the wrong port or alter the wrong registry will also be flagged.
Cons
You need to be good to use it
There are many settings to toy with before you can make the Ashampoo Antivirus 2016 the perfect protection for you. You might also have to run it beside another dedicated malware scanner or internet security suite to get maximum protection.
Verdict
Ashampoo Antivirus 2016 is a good attempt. It will work fine if you know how to configure it properly and what to use when sealing a couple of loopholes it leaves exposed. It isn’t a perfect install and use antivirus.
Muito bom, recomendo.
Very good, I recommend.
