ALWIL Antivirus - Support Site: about ALWIL Antivirus program
Welcome to ALWIL Antivirus version 4
Dear customer, we congratulate you on installing the ALWIL Antivirus
package, one of the best programs in its category. We
hope that you will be satisfied with our product and that you will
enjoy the comfort of working with this program.
ALWIL Antivirus is a package of applications that aim to protect your
computer from a possible virus infection. If you use it correctly,
periodically, and in coordination with other programs such as data
backup utilities, it should ensure that you radically reduce the
risk of your computer being infected by a virus, and thus avoid
losing your private data.
This documentation has been worked out in such a way that the
user will be continually made familiar with the properties and
functions of the whole program, as well as properties and functions
of its individual parts. We anticipate sufficient knowledge of
basic terms and common skills related to the environment of the
Windows operating system. Without the basic background, some parts
of the help may be rather incomprehensible. If you are not familiar
with terms such as folder, file, window, or you are not sure how to
activate a window or press a button, we recommend you to consult
the corresponding user's manual or help of the operating
system.
ALWIL Antivirus contains all the properties that you would expect in a
professional antivirus program. It has a Simple User Interface, suitable for
beginners and inexperienced users; it also has an Enhanced Interface that gives the user
access to any possible setting and full control of ALWIL Antivirus. Of
course, ALWIL Antivirus includes a resident protection part that watches any
possibly dangerous operations performed during the daily work on
the computer, such as running applications, therefore effectively
avoiding virus infection. ALWIL Antivirus is able to check both incoming and
outgoing e-mail messages, processed by most of today's e-mail
clients. There is a command-line
interface for ALWIL Antivirus, too.
For home users running ALWIL Antivirus on their computer that is not used
for commercial purposes, ALWIL Antivirus Home version is free. Fully
functional ALWIL Antivirus Professional version must be paid for. The
difference between Home and Professional version is described on
the page ALWIL Antivirus 4 Home.
