Supercharge your security

Combine antivirus software with Kaseya’s EDR solution to stop over 99% of malware threats (verified by Miercom). Manage protection, detection and remediation in one interface that boosts your endpoint security without added complications.

"The response time was a little over a minute from the start of the encryption that triggered the alert and the response of the ransomware policy. That was extremely impressive." Casey Postma, Cybersecurity Lead at ITPartners+ 
FEATURES

Future-proofed antivirus software that works 

Automated, real-time detection 

Identify and neutralize threats instantly. Choose on-access or on-demand scanning that detects active and hidden malware through deep file analysis, advanced unpacking and runtime inspection. Get the most comprehensive protection against evolving cyberattacks.

Quarantine and remediation

Don’t just detect threats, isolate them and disinfect your compromised endpoints as soon as the threat is confirmed. Restore system integrity automatically by removing malicious files and addressing hidden persistence mechanisms to prevent infection.

Global threat intelligence 

Stay protected with non-disruptive updates that learn from a global intelligence network. All endpoints receive continuous threat data, allowing for proactive defense against emerging malware threats without slowing performance.

Regional centers of excellence

Seamless AMSI integration 

Block script-based malware by integrating apps that support the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI). Stop dynamic attacks, like malicious macros, PowerShell exploits and JavaScript payloads, by closing gaps that traditional antivirus software often misses.

DNS filtering and access controls 

Prevent threats at the network layer before they get a chance to attack endpoints. Enforce browsing policies, block access to high-risk site categories and intercept malicious domains, including command and control servers, across both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

Anti-tampering technology 

This antivirus is tamper-resistant to prevent changes to critical processes, registry keys and files. Specialized protection drivers reinforce the defense by allowing only verified apps to access core components, so your system stays safe at all times.

Frequently asked questions about antivirus software 

Antivirus software is a security solution designed to detect, block and remove malware such as viruses, ransomware, spyware and trojans. Its primary function is to protect computers, servers, and networks from cyberattacks that can steal data, disrupt operations or cause costly downtime. By continuously monitoring activity and scanning files, antivirus software acts as a critical first line of defense in any business cybersecurity strategy.

Traditional antivirus software works by using signature-based detection that compares files and processes against a database of known malware signatures. When a match is found, the software blocks or removes the threat. While effective against familiar attacks, this approach struggles to catch new and evolving malware.

Modern, next-generation antivirus software like Datto AV goes further by incorporating artificial intelligence, machine learning and heuristic analysis. These technologies allow the software to identify suspicious behavior patterns and block unknown or zero-day threats before they cause harm. Combined with cloud-delivered threat intelligence, this creates a more adaptive, future-ready defense.

Yes, antivirus software is a necessity given the scale and speed of modern cyberattacks, with generative AI now playing a key role in creating new malware strains. To put the risk in perspective, just over 8 million types of malware were known in 2007, a figure that has exploded to more than 1 billion by 2024.

The stakes are especially high for small- and mid-sized businesses as research shows that 60% of these face closure following a successful cyberattack. As such, antivirus software is no longer optional, but a fundamental requirement for business continuity and resilience.

When selecting antivirus software for your business, keep these capabilities and features in mind:

  • Always-on protection: Choose a solution that continuously monitors activity and blocks threats in real time.
  • Comprehensive threat removal: Ensure it can detect and eliminate both common and advanced malware.
  • Consistent updates: Pick cloud-based software that automatically refreshes with the latest threat intelligence.
  • Flexible scanning: Give admins control over when and how deep scans are performed.
  • Built-in tamper resistance: Stop cybercriminals from shutting down or altering your antivirus.
  • Light system impact: Keep users productive with an agent that runs quietly in the background.
  • Trusted content approval: Minimize false alarms by allowing safe files or apps to be whitelisted.
  • Fast deployment: Simplify rollouts across multiple endpoints with easy installation.
  • Integration with existing tools: Connect seamlessly with your IT stack for better visibility and centralized control.
  • Affordability: Ensure the solution fits your budget while still providing enterprise-grade protection.
