Hi all, it’s Jake Jackson here, from Element Software.
I have some explanations for you all that you should definitely read regarding the new version of our anti-virus software.
Firstly;
Don’t base your opinions on Ashraf’s supposed review. It’s not a new review; it contains information that is a direct copy and paste of the review of Element Total Protect 2010. I’ve also highlighted areas of the review that contains incorrect information, so it’s highly unreliable.
We need your actual opinions.
Secondly;
Because of the huge amount of downloads from Give Away of The Day, which we thank you all for, a side effect from this is that Element Software is having trouble serving updates for Element Anti-Virus. If your computer is stuck on the ‘Downloading and installing product updates’ screen, we recommend that you download our latest definition installer from the support website.
http://elementsoftware.hostoi.com/InstallLatestDefinition.msi
Thirdly;
Element Anti-Virus and Element Total Protect are related in no way. Element Anti-Virus is a completely new product, and its virus database and detection methods have dramatically increased in performance since its release. This is reflected by the major size increase of the database, and the new algorithms that have been implemented for its heuristics.
Please do not be put off by reviewing of Element Anti-Virus’s predecessor, Element Anti-Virus is new on the market and has not had the chance that other anti-virus products have over the years. Sources such as Softpedia or CNET do not have any reviews for Element Anti-Virus yet, only for Element TotalProtect.
Finally;
We depend on your feedback for improving our software in the future, so please keep it coming in. Please don’t compare our software to other anti-virus software in your comments, we need genuine feedback related to the our software only. The more feedback we have, the better we can make our software.
Thank you all for your understanding.
The Good
* Comes with multiple tools, such as anti-malware, firewall, website adviser, privacy cleaner, system tuneup, defrag, and file backup.
* Anti-malware includes live protection and on-demand scanning.
* Anti-malware protection uses heuristics (for zero-day protection) and signature database (for protection against known threats).
* Can “tweak”/”tune-up” your computer.
* Has the ability to “immunize” your computer against threats.
The Bad
* Developer claims database of malware signatures is “updated the first working day of each month” but “Latest Threats” list shows sporadic updates, with the last one being in May, which often only include a single signature.
