Baidu, world’s leading Chinese search engine, has released the latest version of Baidu Antivirus 2015.
Version 5.0 of Baidu Antivirus 2015 is optimized to deliver 20 percent faster QuickScan speeds even while using significantly less RAM than before, Baidu said.
In addition to this, the search engine company has redesigned Baidu interface to make detection and eradication of PC threats easier and more intuitive. It now features a Malicious Plug-In Cleaner that detects and eliminates nefarious browser plug-ins such as Search Protect and Evernote.
Search Protect, according to Baidu, disguises itself as an Adobe Player update, and the fake Evernote Web plug-in can cause an unwanted increase in pop-up ads on users’ PCs.
The malware removal tool is also enhanced with Advanced Cloud Engine that checks suspicious files against its extensive virus database in the cloud. Ad Blocker, another feature, keeps annoying ads away from user browser.
Other important enhancements include Enhanced System Repair Tool, which repair systems damaged by viruses, and Optimized Installer, a cut down version of the software for quick installation.
Baidu Antivirus 2015 has already surpassed 70 million users worldwide, Baidu claims.
Baidu Antivirus 2015 offers five layers of real-time, proactive security including System, Webpage, USB Device and Download protection along with its leading cloud-based scanning that eliminates the need to download periodic virus signature updates.
