This effectively gives you a second opinion using 12 different antivirus engines without the extra hassle on you and your PC. It’s about time security did all its heavy lifting in the cloud.
Absolute Defense with Intelligent Application Control & Whitelisting
Get an additional layer of defense by using a block-first approach. This means getting the choice to run or block every time an untrusted application launches for the first time, effectively increasing protection even against zero-day threats.
A threat assessment is intuitively given by up to 12 of the best antivirus engines available to enable users to confidently exert total application control.

Reviews for SecureAPlus Premium
A good backup for the primary anti-virus software. The initial scan takes a long time (4 hours on my computer), but it’s once-and-done. I have used this on many computer over the last few years, and had no problems.
SecureAPlus Premium V4.6. from SecureAge Technology – Headquarters in Singapore.
Note: This is an independent review. I am not and will not become part of their “Ambassador Program”, which is a means for them to promote the software via users. User can earn money by promoting SecureAPlus. I have no problems with that, but prefer to remain totally independent.
License duration: 18 Months
The scanning engines currently used are:
AVG, Ahnlab, Avira, BitDefender, ClamWin, ESET, Emsisoft, McAfee, Microsoft Security Essentials, QuickHeal, Sophos, & TotalDefense.
Initial Scan of a budget priced 5 year old laptop, (1.4MHz, 2 core, 4 Gb ram) with 51 background processes enabled, and running Windows 8.0. On a more capable PC it would have little impact but in this case it made using the PC impractical therefore I left it to do its thing.
Initial Scan took about 3 hrs 10. Threats detected = 22. None of the threats were detected more than one engine.The majority were related to TorBrowser. If you look at history it reveals which engine detected the threat. I ignored all but 1 threat which was Adwcleaner version 6.010 (an old version). I scanned that with Avira and Malwarebytes and uploaded it to VirusTotal. All reported no threat.
I concluded they were all false detections. I deleted Adwcleaner to the recycle bin via Windows explorers context menu and was alerted by ClamWin that a new threat had been found. Apparently ClamWin was installed on the PC as the “offline” scanner. This could conflict with already installed AV and Anti-Malware software. I feel it’s unwise that an offline scanner is automatically installed. Thankfully it can be disabled in the scan settings options. Apparently their “small SecureAPlus installer” has the option of not installing the offline scanner prior to installation of SecureAPlus.
I went to Malwarebytes website and downloaded the current version of AdwCleaner (6.046) and scanned it with VirusTotal. One engine (Rising) found a threat. 59 other engines including ClamAV found nothing. Scanning with SecureAPlus via the context menu found nothing. Scan took 1 min 51 sec.
Pros
– Multiple engines (currently 12) scan time with minimal impact after initial scan
– Choice of which AV engines are active. Very nice feature.
– Easy to use and excellent FAQ’s etc., on their website.
– Application Whitelisting catches new malware not detected by existing antivirus.
Cons
– GUI unable to be made full screen. An annoyance but not a deal breaker.
Conclusion
It appears to run smoothly with minimal user effort required to operate. Having 12 engines and “Application Whitelisting” gives a user a bit more confidence that their system is protected from Malware and Viral threats.
I rated it 4 Stars. It lost a Star due to not being able to expand the GUI to full screen.
I’ve been using this program for many months now. I like the way it works. It whitelists the programs I approve or that it knows from its database are safe, and then warns me whenever it detects anything new. So far lots of “false positives”, and it it depends on me to decide if something is good or bad. It offers two different scanning services if I need help deciding, and doesn’t prevent me from sending a questionable file to VirusTotal or scanning with Malwarebytes. Seems to be low impact on my PC. It’s not a complete solution for protecting a PC, but adds a good layer of prevention. I like it!
With hundreds of malware and viruses being developed by the day, SecureAPlus was developed with the aim of whitelisting software applications. The program prevents unauthorized applications from running and warns you of existing malware on your PC. It doesn’t just work on applications on your PC, but also detects programs that want to launch from external devices.
Installation was easy, with the only choice being whether or not to install an offline antivirus. You’ll also set up the online client. If you have another antivirus running, don’t worry – SecureAPlus runs concurrently with most notable AV programs. The initial scan is automatically activated when the software is installed. I took some time to analyze SecureAPlus, and here are some of its advantages and disadvantages.
Pros
Beautiful and interactive user interface
The homepage is pretty amazing and indicates clearly the areas that need your attention. During the initial scan, it will indicate that your system is at risk since real time scan isn’t working despite being turned on. Don’t worry since this may be a false warning. Let it finish first before you can assess the list of programs that are not trusted.
Light and fast
In addition to the software being light, it does a comparison with the cloud-based anti-virus engines fast. It doesn’t require much RAM in the process.
Over 10 antivirus engines
SecureAPlus works by comparing programs with malware samples found in over 12 antivirus engines. These include ESET, BitDefender, AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials, and ClamWin among others. You can turn off the engines you don’t want.
For an offline version, the software uses Clam antivirus to detect malware and viruses.
Provides a list of restricted applications
Actually, you can avoid downloading apps with malware by constantly checking the list of restricted applications straight from the settings page.
Easy whitelisting features
SecureAPlus still need user input, though very minor. It detects all applications that try to run on your device without your permission and all you need to do is to stop or allow. Simple, yet efficient.
Cons
UI doesn’t impress past homepage
With the homepage looking less cluttered, you’d expect the same in the other pages, but instead you’ll get a cluttered look that’s barely interesting. Even worse, you can’t change the appearance.
False positives
Expect dozens of false positives. Novice users will get torn between deleting and not deleting genuine applications that they use regularly when the software regards them as malware.
Initial Scan takes a very long time
Despite running it on a computer with very few application, the initial scan took over 3 hours. Although you can do other tasks while it’s running, it isn’t a feature that you can use anytime you like.
Conclusion
Despite the irritating false positives and the slow initial scan, SecureAPlus is a helpful software that you need to keep your computer protected. It provides a powerful whitelisting option and gives you control over what is installed on your PC.
