This new anti-virus tool can be installed alongside your existing software to provide an additional layer of security. The program offers real-time, on-demand and scheduled protection, and automatically balances its performance based on available system resources. This means that if you run a scan during idle moments, Celframe Free Antivirus will power through it. However if you start using your computer again, the scanner's priority will be reduced, freeing up resources and letting you get on with other tasks while the scan continues to run quietly in the background. The program boasts a dual-scanning engine so as well as relying on regularly updated definition files, it checks suspicious items against its cloud database to make sure that you are fully protected from the very latest threats. Celframe also offers a separate antu-rootkit scanner. The software comes with integrated filters for Facebook and Twitter that prevent you from accidentally clicking a malicious link and stop you sharing dodgy links with friends. To use the feature you will have to securely log into your social-networking accounts via the software. The friendly interface of Celframe Free Antivirus makes it perfect if you don't have much technical ability, though there are plenty of advanced configuration options under the bonnet that let more confident users tailor the software to their personal needs.
