Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2014 – the software

Ashampoo av _main interface

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. Don’t have it, have heard good things about it and would love to try it soon, and who knows maybe I’ll like it enough to buy it…….give me a chance to find out. 🙂 I’ll be looking for my name to be a winner. thanks

  2. I use many Ashampoo Professional products and due to this I have been offered the Anti-Virus programmme at a discounted price, but due to several months left with Kaspersky I have not been in a position to buy at the moment.
    Obtaining Ashampoo Anti-Virus with the Emsisoft ( I have their anti-malware ) and BitDefender engines for no cost would have me using it immediately.
    Thank You!

  3. I already use some of Ashampoo products so this would be a great prize to win, good luck to all.

  4. Un altro broblema riscontrato e che io l ho testato infiltrando il sistema con un virus test Ashampoo antivirus non se ne accorto proprio,il real-time non l ho blocca.Un altra cosa è troppo grande è 365 mb istallato sul disco.Si deve migliorare cosi potrà diventare un buon antivirus engina.

    Any software from Ashampoo is always user friendly and is great value. I have been using Ashampoo products for a number of years and always found them to be light years ahead of the competition.

  6. Great offer as I have used their other products and am pleased. Would love this as well. Thanks

  9. Andreas Schüttler

    I´m a bit too careful to install a security software from Ashampoo. The developed a few good tools – but AV? The giveaway is a good opportunity to test the software over a longer period of time on a special dedicated system.

  10. Yeah a new Av can have some problems, but unless we try it we can’t know. So, lets give it a try.

  11. Ashampoo is a great company that makes well-designed products. I am sure Antivirus 2014 is no exception. Can’t wait to try it.

  12. Thanks Jim. I’m found of Ashampoo’s software, and hence looking forward to win this new product.

    Please count me in

    Thanks, Grr

  13. Hello, Optimum Giveaway

    I have searched diligently antivirus, guarding the ip connection, and this version has two search engines, fast and light to the computer and the user interface (intelligible to the novice user), and has daily signature updates, detects more 10,000,000 threats, and he has guardian online, not retro active (alarm upon attempted infection, works in real time), making navigation safe (avoid identity theft) and always updated with the evolution of the operating system she Standing in built, it is almost as if the program compiled to use features of your version of windows being adapted native libraries for OS of your equipment

    Has only one fault in this Giveaway, the license should be Lifetime!

    Regards, Cheers, Julio from Brazil – South America
