Enhanced performance of all features of Quick Heal to reduce slowing of the system in general, system startup, and overall system performance.

 

Improved PC2Mobile Scan

PC2Mobile Scan is improved to easily scan the mobile devices.

The process of scanning mobile device using Quick Heal’s PC2 Mobile feature is revamped and

made easier than the previous versions. Earlier, the user was required to select the device only

from the provided list of mobile devices, then add it for scanning and perform scanning of the

device. Now the limitation to scan devices only from the provided list is removed and user can scan almost

any of its phones having Android/iOS/Symbian/Windows/Blackberry operating systems.

 

 

Update enhancements

Use stored Quick Heal updates.

This enhancement will reduce Quick Heal’s Internet bandwidth usage on users PCs.

In case Quick Heal is being re-installed on the same PC and user uses older Quick

Heal CD/build to install Quick Heal, then in older versions, all latest updates would

have to be re-download (i.e. from the Virus Database present in the CD/build till

date.)

Quick Heal 16.00 stores downloaded updates on user’s PC and re-uses it after reinstallation

which eliminates need of re-downloading the updates.

Use alternate update servers to download updates.

Quick Update has been enhanced to use alternate update servers to download

updates in failure cases like unable to download specific file from server, incorrect

or corrupt file present on the server etc.

This will reduce probability of update failure and will result in less call load at

customer support center.

 

More Enhancements

Quick Heal uninstallation keeps the backup of license information and downloaded updates, which

makes reactivation on same PC easier and lowers the Internet usage requirement to update Quick

Heal.

Dashboard Situation notifies user if incorrect system date is found.
