Quick Heal AntiVirus Pro 16 is a full-feature virus detection and removal system for Windows.

Quick Heal AntiVirus began as an antivirus and antimalware solution, but like a lot of similar applications, it developed over time into a suite of tools designed to keep your computer safe. Identifying and removing viruses and malware is still the focal point, but you also get a personal firewall, active Web and email protection, safe banking, remote device management and much more.

The program is simple to install and completes its installation fast. It is also quite easy to configure and does a good enough job out of the box that most users will not need to adjust anything. Quick Heal is designed to start with Windows and run in the background. There are two ways you make use of the program: passive and active. While it is running it the background, it is scanning files and network activity and will alert you to any problem it detects.

You can also use it directly to scan a particular file or folder or drive. Let’s say you download a file from some site and you are unsure. Right click on it, and have Quick Heal inspect it with just a click. In passive mode, the program will also rescan the entire system on a regular basis. It also features a scheduling mechanism so that you can dictate when that occurs for the system or particular drives.

It supports external drives and devices. In addition to quick scanning files, you can quick scan emails, webpages and other such objects. Quick Heal also has an automatic update component to keep its virus and malware definitions current. You can also instruct it at any time to fetch the most recent definitions.

This download provides a trial version of Quick Heal AntiVirus Pro. You can use the software without limitations for 30 days, including updating virus definitions. If after that point you want to continue using it, then you will need to purchase a license. Licenses are purchased a year at a time, and you do get a big discount if you want to purchase a second or third license for another user.

The detection rate provided by Quick Heal AntiVirus Pro may not be as high as the detection rate of the leading competitors on the market. Additionally, virus definitions may not be added in the same time frame. The downside here is that there are free alternatives, including some of the software built into Windows 10, that provide a similar level of service at no additional cost.
