Heimdal PRO: Anti-malware protection made simple
Protects users against attacks that antivirus can’t block!
Heimdal PRO is an internet security suite that includes 3 layers of protection against ransomware, financial Trojans, data-stealing malware and other threats that antivirus can’t detect:
- real-time traffic scanning – protection against Zero Hour exploits, dangerous web locations, malicious content from legitimate websites and cybercriminal attacks.
- detection and blocking of advanced malware attacks – blocks confidential data leakage and data exfiltration to cybercriminal-controlled servers.
- automatic and silent patching – keeps your security-critical software up-to-date, blocking over 85% of attacks that target software apps.
The difference between Heimdal PRO and antivirus solutions:
- Reactive antivirus looks for files and actions, whereas Heimdal looks at traffic. Heimdal PRO works proactively to prevent cyber criminals from infecting your system and stealing your personal data.

Reviews for Heimdal PRO
Nowadays, it is rather very difficult to keep yourself safe and protected from viruses, trojans, worms or other forms of malware that are getting stronger day by day. A strong and reliable anti-virus and anti-malware software is a need of almost all PC users, so all there data is safe, and not vulnerable to strong malware and rootkit attacks. There are many softwares available for protection, but not all of them can find vulnerabilities in the system, or track and stop zero-hour exploits, and protect you against banking data leakage.
Heimdal PRO is a security application designed to run alongside antivirus solutions, and is compatible with a variety of antivirus products. It can filter your traffic, scan for vulnerabilities, and patch/update important third-party softwares. The application helps improve the security of your home PC or corporate network.
Installation & Set-up
The installer size is ~20MB, and it asks you to register and activate the license before installation. You can register for a trial, activate the Free version, or enter the license key to activate the Pro version. Once activated, the installation process can continue. The installation process is simple and straightforward, taking no time at all to complete. Once done, you can start the application and set it up as per your needs. The set up process is of two steps, first you choose the apps you want Heimdal to get updates for or you can leave it on Autopilot so all apps are covered. The second step involves choosing what type of notifications you want to receive.
User Interface
The UI of the application is simple, intuitive, and comes with a modern and attractive design with visually appealing colors. The UI looks well-organized, so all the features and function can be easily accessed. There are 4 main tabs, namely Overview, Traffic Scanning, Malware Engine, and Patching System. The first tab shows you the time since last scan/update, the number of patches found, the number of websites blocked, and whether your PC is healthy or in danger. The second tab allows you to turn ON/OFF traffic filtering and other related settings, whereas the third one allows you to manage malware scanning settings. The last tab lets you switch ON/OFF the Patching system, shows you how many apps it is monitoring and the number of patches it has applied, and also shows you useful recommended softwares that are safe to install. Settings and activity reports can be accessed from the top-right side.

Its say it supports Windows XP but Installer Does not Support XP, Even on their Registration they claim to support XP but i send Email to them for clarity they replied that XP & Vista Support is being dropped in Newer Version 2, so those who for specific reasons use XP or Vista try Version 1

Thanks for your comment. We will have the Technical Details sections corrected. With an update made yesterday to Heimdal PRO, it no longer supports Windows XP. Regarding Vista, this was an error and it should not have been in the description in the first place. V2 of Heimdal PRO never supported Windows Vista. Thank you & sorry for the confusion.
Nice, small and easy to use. Keeps a selection of modern apps automatically updated, as well as performing malware checking. As an additional plus, Heimdal seems to treat their promotional customers exactly the same as their paying customers. When I had to reinstall Windows, it turned out my old key (thanks SOS) needed upgraded to the new format. I requested assistance and they took care of me promptly and politely.
