You can save the results to a file for later reference. The “Updates” button will allow you to check for any available program or database update. You can then download and install them.

“Check For Updates”

The “Realtime” button will launch a program that will remain active in the background, supervising every process in your machine, preventing your system from being infected. The “Settings” button will allow you to configure the program. Among other things, you will be able to choose how to check for updates, schedule scanning’s and add items to the Ignore list. When you do changes in your registry, the program will offer you to save backups of them, in order to be able to roll back undesirable changes. The “Backups” button will let you access and manage those saved backups. The “File Killer” button will allow you to delete files that couldn’t be deleted in an ordinary way.
