Ease of use and installation
F-Prot for Windows is easy to install and use. This antivirus program has a nice interface, although it would be more user-friendly if the options were available from the Taskbar instead of from the Start Menu or desktop. All of the options are straightforward and practical. Some of these options include right-click, on-demand, on-access and scheduled scanning.

It lacks the extended features to protect against Spyware, Phishing and so on. The Help and Support is not as good as it could be. An online database contains answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs).
