Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2014 – the software

Key features:

  • Real-time protection: Neutralizes attacks as they happen
  • Behavior Blocker: Monitors application behavior and prevents even not yet classified threats such as zero-day exploits
  • On-Access Guard: Neutralizes infection attempts during file operations.
  • Multi-Engine Scanner: Combines two scan engines for maximum accuracy
  • Customizable whitelist to exclude files from scan
  • Web protection: Prevents access to malicious websites
  • Game mode: Handles all security issues automatically to ensure uninterrupted gameplay
  • Self-protection: Vital program parts are encrypted to prevent the circumvention of security measures

I installed Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2014 on my Windows 8 machine and I must say I am impressed with it’s simplicity. Being so new, it’s impossible at this time to get a line on overall protection but coming from Ashampoo and including engines from both Emsisoft and Bitdefender, I suspect it may be top notch. Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2014 has already queried a couple of suspect processes on my Windows 8 system which had been previously ignored by Windows Defender, it’s always nice to receive confirmation that your AV is actually on the prowl.

As you can see from the above screenshot, there is nothing complicated about Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2014, it’s simple to install and use, initiating optimum protection right out of the box. Clicking “Analyse” opens up a new window which presents a familiar range of scan options:

The “Tools” section contains several interesting inclusions:

It wouldn’t be Ashampoo if the software didn’t come with some nifty extras, would it.

  1. Ashampoo AV 2014 seems like a very good security software. Two excellent antivirus engines and a very good behavior blocker should provide excellent protection. Thanks for this giveaway and good luck to everyone.

  2. Petrovic commented on Daves Computer Tips:

    When multiple and more suspicious of signature or already known malware product starts sounding alerts and, in some cases, when multiple alerts and at this moment they appear at the same time they start frantically in turn overshadow each other, which is why the product begins to falter , respectively, are also on the alert did not press and do in an emergency situation is not acceptable.

  3. Av with 2 engines is good, but it has some downfalls also. Anyway seems to be a good option.

  4. Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2014 – with two antivirus engines and Bitdefender Emsisoft, which allow real-time to detect and remove all existing types of malicious programs.
    Anti also controls access to the springtime devices and media data (USB-stick). Using behavioral control programs provided zaschischita against new and unknown threats “zero-day”.

    Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2014 includes a Web protection blocking malicious websites and phishing attacks while surfing the web, customizable white list of exceptions and effective self-defense.
    With the latest technology, integrated in Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2014 antivirus provides maximum security without slowing down your computer at the same time, providing high performance and system performance.
    I installed it on his PC – runs fast, small load on the system, excellent protection, I am very satisfied with the new version, compared to the previous version – the progress on the face.
    Recognizes more than 10,000,000 threats)
    No official support for Windows 8.1 – so there can be problems.(
    I have noticed in my opinion a serious disadvantage (previously it was possible to create an exception, now it can be done, as it can but only in the course of work, and it’s not very convenient)
    In general, to get a decent product.

  5. Ashampoo think that is a very good security software.
    Thank you this giveaway..

  6. As usual, Ashampoi has released an outstanding top-notch product: Ashampoo Antivirus 2014. It is packed with features that are quite impressive . Ashampoo Antivirus 2014 has a promising future of becoming one of the top-selling AV products on the market. Bravo Ashampoo!

    I tried Ashampoo Antivirus 2014 on my win 8 laptop and found that the ram usage was always above 200mb with 2-5% CPU usage and it slowed down the system quite often so maybe the still need improvement except for that i Loved the product i would give it a decent 7 out of 10

  8. If their antivirus is like Ashampoo’s other products it will be a hit. Thanks for the chance of obtaining a copy.

  9. Count me in please.Who doesn’t like a freebie,and a chance to try some new software?

  10. While a user of a number of Ashampoo products I don’t think that the anti-virus would make me shift from one of the free/non-subscription products like AVG or AVAST! that I normally use or recommend. And with Microsoft having a decent product in Microsoft Defender or Security Essentials that is sufficient for the average user it’s hard to see this program being a major game changer.

    Plus I agree that if it doesn’t support Windows 8.1 (which most Windows 8 users will move to for free when it comes out) then it suffers the same problem I’ve had with other Ashampoo products which were not compatible with Windows 8 (and even after a year are still not…)

  11. I love Ashampoo. they are excellent software making computer. If their antivirus is like their other products it will be a super choice. I am eagerly want to use it on my PC. Thanks for the chance of obtaining one of best product.

  12. Thank-you for this offer. I previously used Ashampoo AV but they stopped providing it. I’m thinking they are now offering it again as it will be a much improved product.

  13. It sounds very good, I would like to give it a try on my Windows 8.
    Thnk you for the giveaway!

  14. Ashampoo is great name in producing various kind of software. I have used many products of ashampoo. most i like ashampoo snap, Burning software. Now it is in AV software. So no doubt it gonna be good protection.
    I can’t wait to try full version on my laptop. Nice review you have done. exploring various feature and presented in a simple way it helps people to understand more in depth about ashampoo AV.

    Please count me in your giveaway.
