IObit Malware Fighter is a simple antispyware tool that can protect your PC in several different ways.

For example, you can run an on-demand scan for spyware, adware, Trojans, bots and other threats that your regular antivirus software might have missed. The "Smart Scan" checks only the most critical areas of your PC and runs fairly quickly (about 7 minutes on our test PC); you can run a full system scan if you prefer, while the "Custom Scan" lets you choose exactly what you want the program to examine.

And Malware Fighter also includes real-time protection in the form of 5 guards, which variously monitor your startup programs, browser settings, cookies, the web pages you view and the files you access.

Our first brief tests left some questions about the program's accuracy, as Malware Fighter missed a real threat and incorrectly warned us of two completely safe files. And it's also a bit short on features.

If you want to perform scheduled scans, USB virus protection, process scanning or technical support, you will need to upgrade to Malware Fighter Pro, currently available for $ 19.95 per year.

Please note that IObit Malware Fighter runs as freeware unless you choose to upgrade to Pro.
