Heimdal Thor
2.5.354 / 2.5.361 RCFilter your traffic, scan for vulnerabilities, patch and update important third-party software using this straightforward and reliable software solution that helps improve the security of your home PC or corporate network
Having lots of applications installed in one place usually makes updating a pain in the neck. On top of that, some applications that rely on constant updates might be viewed as targets for cyber attacks when unchecked. If you wish to have a secure software environment, you can give Heimdal Thor a try — a professional application that will take upon itself the task of securely updating your software.
You'd probably wonder why a software updater would look like an antivirus solution. Well, Heimdal Thor can take care of much more than keeping applications up-to-date. For example, The Thor Foresight section is sporting the Darklayer Guard — a two-way traffic scanning engine that protects against ransomware; VectorN Detection — another engine that analyses all HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS traffic; and X-Ploit Resilience — the automated module responsible for patching and keeping applications updated.
As it can be noticed, Heimdal Thor throws in significant protection against attacks that might occur during software updates.
Switch to the next tab to access the Vigilance side of things. If the antivirus reference seemed a bit far-fetched, it wasn't. Thor Vigilance looks like another service on its own, as it can scan your system for malware, display the number of infections, quarantine threats, and generate activity reports. Furthermore, a firewall device is also part of the security suite.
However, the Vigilance feature is disabled in the free version of the utility, making purchasing a license a must for unlocking all capabilities.
To sum things up, Heimdal Thor is a powerful app that can indeed take the wheel regarding software updates, and the security around that. Due to its smart features that are in place to prevent update-targeted attacks, and its anti-malware abilities, this program can be all that you need in order to forget about manually updating apps and the affiliated risks.
