If you're using this program alongside traditional antivirus, run a full scan before installation. Note that if malware is already present on your computer, it gets whitelisted in that initial snapshot, along with your legitimate programs. I chose the whitelisting mode for full security. The former requires less user interaction but is also a bit less secure.

It's a useful tool, as proven in testing, and its new WhitelistCloud feature (for paying customers) aims to bring it closer to replacing traditional antivirus.

When you open the box and take out a brand-new PC, you can be pretty sure it's malware-free. ![]()
