Your computer needs an anti-virus software program, and Quick Heal Anti-Virus is a strong option. Designed for use by the intermediate computer user, this program offers strong protection against viruses and other malicious files.

When you first download this program, you might not be overly impressed. At first, the installation will seem a bit sluggish and frustrating. Plus, the initial window that pops up after the program has been installed is not actually the control center that you need to use to access the program. Although first appearances are important, these issues shouldn't stop you from trying this program. Once you navigate to the correct control panel for the program, you will find that things improve.

For example, the control center is very visually appealing. It's also easy to navigate and is rather modern when compared to other similar programs. Immediate and even advanced users will probably be impressed with this program; it offers a lot of features. For example, you can determine what you would like the program to do when it does find a virus or malicious file, and you can even set up a password so that no one can tinker with your settings.

Along with the main tools that monitor your computer, there are easy, straightforward scanning options for you to choose from. You can choose between Full, Memory, Custom and Boot Time scanning options to scan your computer for malicious files. You can then scan the part of your computer that you most want to scan for issues.

If you look at the tools that are available with Quick Heal Anti-Virus, you will probably be impressed. You can scan things like USB drives, and there is an integrated anti-malware tool that you can use to further protect your computer. There is also the option to create a CD to use in emergencies in case your computer gets seriously infected.

Quick Heal Anti-Virus was once known for being slow, but improvements have been made to that, and the program is now sufficiently quick. Plus, it's great for intermediate users who want a few more features and settings. Even though the initial download, installation and setup might be a bit frustrating, this is a good anti-virus program for intermediate computer users. It can help you protect your computer from malicious files and can provide you with features that you can't find with other programs.
