K7 Antivirus is a cybersecurity tool designed to detect and remove computer viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, adware, and rootkits. The software uses signature-based detection as well as heuristic scanning to protect against new and evolving threats. In addition to real-time protection while files are being opened or copied on the system, K7 can be scheduled for regular scans of the entire system or selected parts such as memory modules or registry entries. The suite typically includes firewall capabilities for added security from online threats during web browsing sessions.
