While it may sound like a cliché, the Internet is not a secure place by any means, and sometimes, even the tech savvy users can end up downloading some malware without realizing it. Smartsoft Anti-Malware Free is a tool designed to help protect your computer from malware and preemptively block known and unknown threats.

Following a quick and uneventful setup, you come face to face with a modern and fresh interface that is unlikely to your give you any real challenges. In fact, the UI consists of four main tabs that you can navigate through easily, namely Overview, Scan, Tools and Reports.

In other words, you can check out the overall protection status for your computer in the main window and access the various tools from the rest of the tabs. In the Status Bar, the UI includes a quick link to the Quarantine where you can check out the files the app has deemed as dangerous or, at least, suspicious.

In addition to the elementary scanning tools specific to the vast majority of antivirus solutions out there, the program packs a few additional tools that can come in handy in different circumstances. Therefore, if you want to delete files so that they cannot be retrieved you can do so from the Data Shredder.

In the eventuality that you feel that your system is relatively sluggish, then you can access the Process Manager and view the processes that might be responsible for this. Similarly to the Task Manager, the function displays the active processes along with their path and title, if the latter is available.

All things considered, Smartsoft Anti-Malware Free is a utility designed for less technical users or anyone who is looking for a protection tool to keep an eye out for threats, but without putting too much strain on the system resources.
