As security experts and security companies keep reminding us, there are many, many threats out in the wild. There are worms, Trojans, keyloggers, viruses, password stealers, and other types of malware. To protect yourself against these threats, you must get a security solution for your computer. MooSoft’s The Cleaner is such a security solution – it is an award winning malware removal tool that can protect against a wide range of threats.

To get started with The Cleaner, you will first have to get a 6.2Mb installation file onto your computer, then follow the instructions presented by a setup wizard. The whole process is quite straightforward and you will be done in little time. It must be mentioned that you will get to choose one of several supported languages, choose the installation directory, and select if you want a desktop shortcut or not.

Before The Cleaner runs for the first time, you will be asked if you want to see the Advanced view (shows many options and is more suited to power users; you can change this setting via Options at any time) and if you want to join the MooSoft network (data will be collected for statistical purposes and to gauge threats in the wild; no personal information will be sent).

The user friendly interface makes it very easy to access the functionality The Cleaner has to offer. Tabs with The Cleaner’s main functions are displayed in the left hand side; a large window displays more info based on the tab you select from the left.

As mentioned above, The Cleaner protects against malware threats. It detects and removes malware and it provides real-time protection against malware. It can run alongside the antivirus you have on your system and provide an added level of security; it uses advanced heuristics to detect new and emerging threats. And speaking about new and emerging threats, it must be mentioned that The Cleaner has a huge database of threats and this database is updated on a daily basis (because the bad guys never sit still and new threats appear in the wild all the time).

You have 30 days to use The Cleaner for free and test the functionality it has to offer. Please note that the trial version does not feature real-time malware protection and scheduled scanning and updating.

The award-winning and user friendly security solution The Cleaner protects against all sorts of malware threats. Use it alongside your existing antivirus to complete your security.

Pros

Multiple languages are supported. Simple installation process that takes little time to complete. User friendly, easy to figure out interface. Schedule scans and updates; real-time protection against malware threats. Compatible with antivirus programs.

Cons

Free to use for an evaluation period of 30 days.
