ZenOK Free Antivirus is an antivirus solution designed with novice and advanced users alike in mind. It helps defend Windows machines from viruses, spyware, adware and other malicious software that can be accidentally contracted from using the internet.

After installing ZenOK Free Antivirus and loading the program up for the first time, a first time scan is launched without you needing to intervene or set it up in any way. As a means for actively fighting against malware and intrusion in real time, ZenOK Free Antivirus is designed to scan in the background continuously as it runs. Although this is a nice layer of security for making your Windows machine safer and protecting it from malicious software, the program lacks the feature that allows users to choose which areas of their computers they would like scanned.

Using the context menu when right-clicking on a particular file, users can scan that single piece of data for problems rather than having to conduct a scan of the entire computer system. This works well for situations when you download or want to open a file, but are not sure about its origins. Once the program locates a file that poses a threat to the computer, it is quarantined.

In order to receive database updates on a constant basis, users are required to register for free. A cloud backup service is also offered, but this feature requires a fee to be paid.

The interface is extremely easy to use, and you will likely enjoy the flexibility that comes with the program. Keep in mind that scheduled scanning is not supported, so any time you want to scan your machine, you will have to do so manually.

Overall, ZenOK Free Antivirus is a great solution for those that want an antivirus tool, but do not want to pay a ridiculous amount to obtain one.
