Simplified security suite

Security software is an essential element of any PC user, especially in this day and age when online snoopers are rampant. However, most security suites tend to become overcomplicated and loaded with tools that nobody really understands or needs. K7 Total Security aims to simplify the process of securing your computers. A security app from UK-based K7 Computing, it provides several powerful tools that protect your computers from security threats, such as viruses, spyware, and more. It has a fast and intelligent scanning algorithm that not only detects real-time emerging threats but predicts future malware attacks, as well. More than that, it also has advanced cache and hard disk cleaning tools. K7 works to provide not just basic protection, but a range of additional privacy tools for your desktop, too. 

Beginner-friendly security app

Total Security is a great paid antivirus program for users who are looking for a simple way to thwart viruses and malware. It has a number of advantages that make it ideal for your specific needs. For one, it comes with a streamlined interface, which is compact and easy to maneuver. With this, tools like disc cleaners, anti-spam filters, and firewall settings are quickly accessed. You can also set the app scans to run manually or automatically while you work. 

The K7 antivirus scan is very efficient. As mentioned, it can detect real-time threats and predict future malware, which better prevents threats from progressing. It even automatically scans USB media as soon as they are plugged in and prevent autoruns. Moreover, it can check for problems with the new software you are installing, as well as block unauthorized access to the internet. 

Overall, K7 Total Security is comparable to many of the other big-named security tools on the market. It provides frequent and thorough scanning of your computer. While not free, it offers a good amount of features for the price. However, the app can take up a decent amount of memory with its default setup. You can turn off some features to free up some storage, but it is a lot of extra work. It also does not offer much when it comes to parental control.

  • Thorough and frequent scanning
  • Advance cache and disc cleaning tools
  • Streamlined interface
  • Efficient antivirus

CONS

  • Can be heavy in the background
  • Limited parental controls
  • Some features do not run automatically

Program available in other languages
