Watchdog Anti-Malware 2017

Watchdog Anti-Malware 2017 is a second-opinion cloud-based multi-engine malware scanner designed to protect your computer from malware that your primary anti-virus misses.

It's simply not possible to install dozens of different anti-virus programs on your computer because they'll conflict with each other, but even it you could it would be prohibitively expensive. We've come up with a way to provide you with several anti-virus scanners to catch malware that your primary anti-virus program misses all at a fraction of the price. And it is point-and-click easy to use.

• Step 1. First you simply start a scan.
• Step 2. Anti-Malware analyzes your files and when our software finds a suspicious file, it passes the fingerprint to our Cloud Scanning Platform where many different anti-virus engines perform checks. Milliseconds later, our Cloud Scanning Platform marks the file as safe or malicious, or else asks Anti-Malware to upload it for further examination.
• Step 3. Anti-Malware rapidly sets about removing any confirmed malicious software.

In 2014, more than 317 million new malware threats were released. No single engine can detect all threats, so one anti-virus engine is no longer sufficient. Only by using multi-engine scanning technology can you ensure that no threat goes undetected. That's why Anti-Malware uses many different anti-virus engines.

Watchdog Anti-Malware uses our Cloud Scanning Platform, a highly optimized cluster of servers running several anti-virus engines with the latest updates. This provides you with the power of multi-engine scanning without any of the downsides such as drains on system resources or conflicts between programs.

Watchdog Anti-Malware is extremely optimized and lightweight. Our software engineers designed it to work out of the box without the need to tinker with confusing settings. Simply start a scan and wait a few minutes while it searches your computer and eliminates threats.

• Multi-engine scanning.
• Removes unwanted apps, toolbars and add-ons.
• Very fast scanning.
• Very easy to use.
• Doesn't slow down your PC.

Watchdog Anti-Malware is a highly capable computer scanner and cleaner, which allows you to remove threats from your computer. The tool can detect both malicious files, as well as suspicious keys, certificates, settings or executables.

The Smart scan and Deep scan are the two operational modes available in Watchdog Anti-Malware. They depict a fast and selective scanning mode versus a longer, comprehensive detection mode.

Each malicious element the program detects is automatically filtered through the Cloud Scanning Platform fingerprint. The purpose of this protocol is to check the files/items against several antivirus engines and verify their status. It can thus confirm the status of any threat and recommend an appropriate action.

The tool allows you to remove malicious files, send them to quarantine if they cannot be deleted or repairing them. Pending the computer scan, each item Watchdog Anti-Malware detects is marked for one of these actions, but you can manually choose another course.

Watchdog Anti-Malware's main screen features several areas: the computer status, the date of the latest scan and the file scanner. The latter is represented by a box in which you can drag and drop any file to verify its safety.

The program can perform scheduled scans, at the specified interval. You can set it to start with Windows and immediately search the system or set the schedule to every day or once a week. A restore point can be created before repairing or deleting any file/object, as a safety measure. This action might make the process slower and you can disable it if you wish.

Watchdog Anti-Malware allows you to create a list of exceptions: files that the program should skip during the scan. These might be important documents that you do not wish to risk deleting permanently. You can set the program to remove browser extensions, view the quarantine list and view the reports generated after each scan.
