AlpKey

While the top players in the current antivirus market aim at keeping things as simple and as efficient as possible, at least on the surface, more and more developers out there are incorporating large numbers of system utilities in their antivirus solutions.

One such software solution is AlpKey, an antivirus utility that aims to protect your computer from malware and viruses, as well as keep it in tip-top shape with the help of its built-in system tools.

Subsequent to its installation and upon first launching the app, you are greeted by a relatively compact main window that provides you with quick access to all important features.

Right off the bat, it must be pointed out that AlpKey's interface is not what you would call good looking. In fact, because of its dark color and different types of fonts with different colors and sizes, everything seems out of place.

The utility also comes with system tray integration, but unfortunately, the pop-up window that displays the messages follows the same appearance patterns as the rest of the interface. It uses a black background and it displays messages with different types of font and colors.

Without going too much into detail, the interface can prove to be very tiring, to say the least.

Getting passed the way it looks, with the help of its Dashboard, the application makes it possible for you to scan your computer and find unnecessary files that are slowing down your computer.

You can also scan your computer for viruses and malware. The app also comes with start up and real-time protection, as well as USB and external storage protection, but we do not recommend that you fully rely on it for protecting your computer, but to also take some extra precautions.

Besides this, the app can also show your system's performance figures, clean up unnecessary files and also repair your system, among others.

While in terms of features and overall protection, there is no doubt that AlpKey is far behind the top contenders in the antivirus market, it may be appealing to users who like the idea of having some useful system utilities stacked right under the same roof as their antivirus.
