What is Zemana Antimalware ?


Zemana AntiMalware is a recent addition to the array of on demand and online malware scanners. This means that it does not actually provides Real-Time protection, but rather scans when the users requests the program to do so. The great thing about Zemana AntiMalware is the fact that it does not store the virus definitions on your computer but rather, on-demand uploads the file fingerprint to their cloud server, and that server responds if the file is safe or malicious. Meaning that it actually use almost no system resources, making it very friendly to use daily.
It’s important to realize that Zemana is not designed to replace an installed “Real-Time” anti-virus application or firewall, but it adds to your existing security by adding an extra layer of “On Demand” system scanning by up to six antivirus engines. Zemana will not conflict with your normal antivirus or security suite.

Features

Zemana AntiMalware does on first look not have many features, but you might be mistaken like I was, once you start a scan, a smart scan or deep scan, you quickly notice that it does more then just check your files. It also checks your browser settings for malicious settings, your registry and of course your entire hard disk for suspicious files.
Once the Scan finds something, you can easily select what you wish to do with the result, for example a Suspicious Browser setting allowed us to Repair, Exclude, Report as Safe, Copy it’s details and google it. The last thing might sound weird, but with many Suspicious things, it could be good to Google it, for example Zemana thought my default start page was suspicious, however it’s was this site, so if you would have Googled it you would have discovered nothing is going on and it’s just a false report.
Like any other security / removal tool it has a virus vault where you can find any infection it removed, and restore it if needed, nothing special but still a good feature, perhaps you mistakenly removed a file marked as malicious that wasn’t malicious, it’s a good thing you can then restore it.

Design

I quite liked the design, it’s clean, it only shows the things you need, there is no need to show more, the user wants to scan his computer and be done. There are already too many programs out there with complex menu’s and way too many options which confuses the end-user and confusion is something you don’t want when dealing with malicious items on your computer.

Verdict

The most important part of a review, our verdict.
“Personally I think Zamana AntiMalware is an excellent choice to have installed on your computer, because of the low resource consumption you can use the program daily to make sure your not infected with any malicious files, and because of the ease to use interface the program is avaiable to every computer user and not only expert. It delivers on its promises and I love it! “

Zemana AntiMalware is a cloud based malware scanner that provides excellent malware detection, quick scans, and easy malware removal. As it is cloud based, it always has the most current virus definitions and new definitions can be quickly pushed out by the developers when new malware is discovered.

 Zemana is also a very lightweight program that uses very little resources. This allows it to quietly protect you in the background, while not affecting the performance of your computer.

 Some of the benefits of using Zemana AntiMalware include:

 Removes unwanted apps, annoying toolbars or browser add-ons.
Finds and removes even deeply embedded advanced threats like rootkits and bootkits.
Scans thousands of files per second.
Compatible with other antivirus solutions.
In-house algorithms for zero false positives.
Doesn't slow down your PC.

Easy-to-use.


Zemana AntiMalware uses cloud based scanning and the benefits are:
Reduced detection time for new virus outbreaks.
Increased zero hour detection rates for all types of malware.
Rapid simultaneous scanning without system resource issues.

What Is CCleaner ?
 These days, it seems like every Windows user has heard about CCleaner. It’s widely recommended, online and offline. But what exactly does CCleaner do, should you use it — and how often?



 CCleaner has two main uses. One, it scans for and deletes useless files, freeing up space. Two, it erases private data like your browsing history and list of most recently opened files in various programs.

CCleaner Is Disk Cleanup On Steroids


However, Disk Cleanup doesn’t go as far as it could. For example, while it can delete Internet Explorer’s cache files, it won’t touch cache files for other browsers like Chrome and Firefox. It won’t delete the useless setup folders NVIDIA’s graphics driver installers create when you update your graphics drivers, which can consume hundreds of megabytes each.

 CCleaner does do these things and more. It takes the Disk Cleanup concept and runs with it, extending it to more data in Windows and third-party programs that the Windows Disk Cleanup tool won’t touch.

 Just select the types of data you want to delete, click the Analyze button, and look over the data CCleaner will delete. If you’re happy, click the Run Cleaner button to actually delete the selected files. CCleaner will remember your choices for next time, so you can just open it and click the Run Cleaner button in the future.

CCleaner Also Deletes Private Data


 CCleaner has two main uses. It frees up disk space by deleting junk files and wipes out private usage data. For example, CCleaner will erase your browser history, cookies, and cache files for any browsers you have installed — Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, even Opera. It will go beyond that, erasing the cookie data stored by the Flash Player. It will even wipe out other potentially privacy-risking data, such as the list of recently opened file names in Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Media Player, VLC media player, and other common Windows applications.

 All of this is customizable, but CCleaner is set up to wipe out this data by default. Not only does CCleaner quickly wipe away useless temporary files, it’s like a sort of computer-wide “Delete my history” feature that deletes more than just your browsing data. Of course, CCleaner doesn’t know about every program you might use, so this will never be perfect.

 Why Running CCleaner Every Day Could Slow Down Your Web Browsing

 You could use CCleaner constantly, running it every day with the default settings. However, this would actually slow your computer down in real use. This is because CCleaner is set up to delete your browser’s cache files by default.

However, if you were to constantly clear your browser’s cache, it would have to re-download the same files over and over. That means that clearing your browser’s cache constantly is a bad idea for performance reasons — constantly emptying the cache means you lose the benefits of having one.

Of course, the cache can also be a privacy concern. Someone with access to your computer could inspect your browser’s cache files to see what websites you’ve been visiting, just as they could look at your browser history. This is why browsers don’t save cache files when you browse in private-browsing mode.

 If you want to run CCleaner regularly and aren’t worried about people with access to your computer snooping on your browsing, you should disable the Internet Cache-clearing options.


 Will Using CCleaner Speed Up My PC?


However, occasionally cleaning temporary files — whether with CCleaner or the Disk Cleanup tool included with Windows — can help speed up your PC a bit. Many geeks can attest to computers performing more quickly after they wiped away useless junk files, and even Microsoft says “old cached and temporary files” can cause your computer to slow down.

 Why this works is unclear — certainly, if your computer’s hard drive is very full, freeing up space will help it perform faster. If your computer has an SSD, that SSD will slow down as it fills up — so ensuring you don’t have lots of wasted space is a good idea. Some programs may be badly written and may choke when they have lots of temporary files, antivirus software may insist on scanning the junk files and slowing things down, or Windows itself may have issues with a large amount of files for some reason — we’re not completely sure why this is.

 The short answer is that occasionally deleting useless temporary files can help your PC stay fast — who are we to argue with Microsoft, who insist that this can help speed up your PC? — but you don’t have to run it constantly. Once a week should be more than enough, and even Disk Cleanup will do a lot on its own.

 If you have an old PC that you’ve never run CCleaner or even Disk Cleanup on, you should give it a go — you’ll likely free up a lot of space and may even notice a performance improvement.

Choosing What to Clean


 If you do end up using CCleaner, you can select the types of data you want it to remove from the Cleaner tab. The Windows section contains options for cleaning data included with Windows, while the Applications section contains cleaning options for third-party applications you have installed. Be sure to check the Applications section — if you don’t want CCleaner constantly wiping your browser’s cache, you’ll need to disable that option there. CCleaner will also wipe out all your website logins if you have it clear your browser’s cookies, which will force you to log into websites you use over and over.

Advanced Stuff
CCleaner has a number of other advanced features, from managing your startup programs and locating duplicate files to securely wiping disks. You could also set CCleaner up to run automatically on a schedule. We’ve previously covered using CCleaner’s more advanced features and setting up a scheduled task to run CCleaner automatically.
