Heimdal是安全产品市场的一个相对较新的人。过去，他们向家庭用户提供Heimdal Free和Heimdal PRO 。它们是高效的产品，为现有的防病毒产品增加了新的保护层。我们喜欢使用它们，我们向所有读者强烈推荐Heimdal 。该公司最近推出了不同名称的新产品，其中还包括他们过去缺乏的传统防病毒保护^{(antivirus protection)}。我们现在有Heimdal Thor Free、Heimdal Thor Foresight、Heimdal Thor Vigilance和Heimdal Thor Premium Home. 阅读此评论并了解所有这些产品之间的不同之处、它们在保护您的 Windows 计算机方面的效率以及我们建议您购买哪一款：

什么是Heimdal Thor Premium Home、Heimdal Thor Vigilance Home、Heimdal Foresight Home和Heimdal Thor Free？

Heimdal Thor Premium Home是Heimdal为家庭用户打造的顶级安全应用，它包含以下安全模块：

1. Thor Foresight Home是一个为您提供额外安全层的模块。它会扫描您的计算机以查找已知存在安全漏洞的第三方应用程序，如果发现任何应用程序，它会自动将它们更新到最新版本。它还可以通过扫描您的所有互联网流量^{(internet traffic)}（HTTP、HTTPS和DNS）来阻止传入的攻击、勒索软件、银行木马、网络钓鱼尝试等。如果您已经是受害者，Thor Foresight Home还可以阻止恶意软件与网络犯罪分子控制的服务器之间的通信，以防止僵尸网络包含、数据泄露、勒索软件回拨等。 总之，Thor Foresight Home是一个安全模块^{(security module)}，为您提供主动保护，在威胁到达您的计算机之前阻止它们。
2. Thor Vigilance Home是Heimdal Thor Premium Home捆绑的防病毒模块^{(antivirus module)}，基于Avira防病毒引擎^{(antivirus engine)}。该防病毒软件使用本地和基于云的病毒定义，并为您提供针对传统恶意软件威胁的保护。换句话说，Thor Vigilance Home可针对已经进入您计算机的威胁或您实时访问的威胁提供反应性保护。

如果您不需要Heimdal Thor Premium Home的所有功能，您可以购买Thor Vigilance Home并仅获得防病毒模块^{(antivirus module)}，或Thor Foresight Home仅获得主动防护层^{(protection layer)}。Heimdal Thor Free仅包含 app-updater 模块。

If you are installing the Thor Premium Trial or the Thor Free versions, the only personal information you have to provide is a valid email address. If you are installing Thor Home Premium or Enterprise, you must also enter the license key to activate your product.)}

易于使用和配置

Heimdal Thor Premium Home 的^{(Heimdal Thor Premium Home's)}用户界面相当漂亮，遵循从Windows 10到Android随处可见的扁平化设计趋势^{(design trend)}。用户界面分为两个主要部分：Thor Foresight和Thor Vigilance。Thor Foresight显示您的计算机是否健康，并为您提供详细信息和访问此模块中不同功能的权限：DarkLayer Guard、目标进程、感染概率^{(DarkLayer Guard, Targeted processes, Probability of infection)}和软件更新^{(Software updates)}。

Thor Vigilance是位于窗口右侧的部分，它显示它是否已启用并且运行良好。它还使您可以访问其主要功能和操作。您可以使用它来启动或查看上次运行按需扫描^{(On Demand Scan)}的时间、启用或禁用实时保护^{(Real Time Protection)}、查看过去 30 天的感染^(Infections)和隔离项目的数量。^{(Quarantined)}

Thor Foresight和Thor Vigilance都可以让您通过单击或点击^{(click or tap)}“仍然扫描^{(Scan Anyway)}”或“快速扫描”^{(Quick Scan)}按钮触发手动扫描。

中央控制台还会根据系统的健康状况^{(health state)}改变其颜色。例如，如果Heimdal Thor Premium Home发现需要使用更新修补的第三方应用程序，Thor Foresight部分会变为黄色并告诉您“您的计算机必须更新”，^{("Your computer must be updated,")}如下面的屏幕截图所示。

在Heimdal Thor Foresight模块内部，有三个主要的安全组件：DarkLayer Guard、VectorN Detection和X-ploit Resilience。让我们看看他们每个人都做了什么：

DarkLayer Guard是一种双向流量扫描引擎，允许Heimdal Thor Foresight在检测到零日漏洞、勒索软件、数据泄露和下一代攻击时阻止网络通信。Dark Layer Guard可以在您的 PC 受到攻击之前保护它免受攻击。

^{(Thor Foresight's VectorN Detection)}根据 Heimdal 的说法，Thor Foresight 的 VectorN 检测“使用机器学习技术对所有传入和传出的 HTTP、HTTPS 和 DNS 流量进行深入分析。” ^{("uses Machine Learning technology to perform an in-depth analysis of all incoming and outgoing HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS traffic.")}它旨在分析​​用户的互联网流量^{(internet traffic)}模式，以识别已知和未知的恶意软件攻击。换句话说，它检测并阻止了第二代恶意软件^{(second-generation malware)}。

Thor Foresight的第三个安全组件称为X-ploit Resilience。它负责使您的第三方应用程序保持最新状态，并使用可用的最新更新进行修补。X-ploit Resilience显示由^{(X-ploit Resilience)}Heimdal Thor Foresight安装和监控的所有第三方应用程序。对于它们中的每一个，您都可以看到已安装的版本、其状态^(Status)以及两个不同的复选标记，一个用于选择是否要监视该软件，另一个用于打开或^(On)关闭自动^(Off)更新^(Autoupdate)功能。

如果您的计算机上未安装Heimdal Thor Foresight列表中的^{(Heimdal Thor Foresight's)}第三方应用程序^{(party apps)}之一，您也可以使用“一键式应用程序安装^{(One Click App Install)}”功能安装它。我们喜欢这个小细节，因为它允许您一键快速安装任何这些应用程序。无需去特定网站下载和安装应用程序。如果Heimdal Thor Foresight知道，它就有。

Heimdal Thor Foresight 的^{(Heimdal Thor Foresight's)}补丁系统支持的第三方应用程序列表非常广泛。它现在可以监控 70 多个第三方应用程序。虽然有些应用程序是同一软件的不同版本或版本，但列表相当长，包括：7-zip、Adobe Acrobat Reader、Adobe Acrobat Pro、Adobe AIR、Adobe Flash Player、Adobe Reader、Adobe Shockwave、Accordance , Audacity , Axure ,来自Google的^(Google)备份和同步^{(Backup and Sync)}, Box Sync , Calibre , CCleaner, Chrome , Cisco WebEx Meeting Center , Classic Shell , Concierge Services Catering , Dropbox , Everything , FileZilla , Firefox , Foxit Reader , Garmin Express , Gimp , iTunes, Jabra Direct , Java and 8, Jitsi , KaBoo , Krita , Lenovo System Update , LibreOffice ,微软 Power BI 桌面^{(Microsoft Power BI Desktop)},微软 Silverlight^{(Microsoft Silverlight)} ,NemID、Notepad++、OpenOffice、Paint.Net、Picasa、Pidgin、远程桌面管理器^{(Remote Desktop Manager)}、Skype、TeamViewer、Thunderbird、VirtualBox、VLC和WinRar。

Heimdal Thor Premium Home的另一个模块——Thor Vigilance——^{(Thor Vigilance -)}是一个基于Avira的传统防病毒引擎^{(antivirus engine)}。它可用于检测和阻止计算机上已经存在的恶意软件，以便它可以对抗病毒、木马、有害脚本、间谍软件程序等。Thor Vigilance使用在您的系统和云中发现的恶意软件签名。

虽然Heimdal Thor Premium Home^{(Heimdal Thor Premium Home)}中的许多保护模块都可以直接从主界面启用或禁用，但该安全产品^{(security product)}还包括一系列更高级的设置^(Settings)。您可以通过单击用户界面右上角的小^{(right corner)}齿轮来访问它们。^{(cog wheel)}您可以打开^(On)或关闭^(Off)主要模块，并设置扫描频率，例如修补应用程序或更新病毒定义。

我们赞赏Heimdal Thor Premium Home包含一系列设置，您可以使用这些设置来调整您收到的通知的数量和类型。^{(number and types)}在“设置”的“^(Settings)通知^{(Notifications)}”部分，您可以完全打开或关闭^(Off)气球通知^{(Balloon notification On)}，但您也可以详细查看是否要查看有关已被阻止的恶意流量、软件更新、恶意软件感染或安全性的通知^{(security news)}新闻警报。

Heimdal Thor Premium Home还包括一些支持^(Support)选项：从中央控制台打开菜单，然后您可以访问他们的教育^{(Educational)}材料、FAQ（常见问题）^{(FAQ (Frequently asked questions))}、阅读产品手册，或者，如果您需要进一步的帮助，您可以联系^(Contact)他们通过发送带有票证请求^{(ticket request)}的电子邮件。

Heimdal Thor Premium Home 提供了一个平面设计的用户界面，看起来不错。我们喜欢使用各种可用的模块和功能是多么容易，我们相信用户也会感到高兴。^{(Heimdal Thor Premium Home offers a user interface with a flat design that looks good. We liked how easy it is to work with the various modules and features available, and we are sure that users will be pleased too.)}

Heimdal Thor Premium Home 对您的保护程度^{(Heimdal Thor Premium Home protect)}如何？

Heimdal Thor Premium Home的工作原理是在您的防病毒解决方案之上或与^{(Heimdal Thor Premium Home)}Thor Vigilance（Thor Premium Home的防病毒引擎^{(antivirus engine)}）一起添加一系列额外的安全层，以保护您免受网络威胁。让我们来看看这些安全功能中的每一个，看看它们是否像宣传的那样工作：

Heimdal Thor Premium Home提供的第一个保护层是DarkLayer Guard和VectorN模块。他们分析您计算机上的所有流量，并检查您尝试加载的网站是否已知包含恶意内容。如果他们检测到危险的东西，Heimdal会尝试在威胁到达您的计算机之前阻止它们。

为了测试这款安全产品^{(security product)}的效率，我们使用了所有流行的网络浏览器（Microsoft Edge、Google Chrome、Mozilla Firefox、 Opera和Internet Explorer），并尝试加载一系列已知为网络钓鱼诈骗或持有恶意内容的网站。我们的发现是积极的，我们可以确认Heimdal Thor成功阻止了我们尝试访问的所有恶意网站。它在我们测试的所有网络浏览器中都能正常工作。

Heimdal Thor Premium Home还包括Thor Vigilance，这是一种防病毒引擎，旨在在您的 PC 上已发现恶意软件或您的计算机已被感染时做出反应。

为此，我们首先检查它如何处理存储在可移动驱动器上的受感染恶意软件文件。我们将一堆病毒放在USB 记忆^{(USB memory)}棒上，然后将其插入我们的测试计算机^{(test computer)}。不幸的是，Thor Vigilance没有自动扫描记忆棒^{(memory stick)}，也没有询问我们是否要扫描它。我们决定运行自定义扫描，看看它是否识别出我们在该棒上的恶意文件。Thor Vigilance设法识别出所有这些人，并迅速将他们转移到隔离区。

接下来，我们拿起我们的测试计算机^{(test computer)}并安装了一个干净的Windows 10版本，我们使用所有可用的系统更新对其进行了修补，然后我们在其上安装了一系列病毒。我们要求Heimdal Thor Premium Home自行安装并清洁我们的计算机。我们很高兴看到该套件在安装和启动其保护服务时没有问题。我们也很高兴看到它能够检测并删除系统上的所有恶意软件。

评估防病毒引擎^{(antivirus engine)}性能的另一个重要特征是扫描恶意软件时的速度。因此，我们测量了Heimdal Thor Vigilance扫描包含 75GB 文件的 137GB系统分区的速度。^{(system partition)}平均需要 18 分钟，这相当慢。

在撰写此评论时，Heimdal Thor Premium Home可以监控并自动修补 70 多种不同的第三方应用程序。该列表包括广泛使用的已知易受攻击的程序，这些程序通常成为恶意软件和黑客^{(malware and hackers)}的目标。我们想看看Heimdal Thor Premium Home是否确实更新了此关键应用程序列表中的程序。因此，我们使用了在Windows 10上运行的测试计算机，并安装了^{(test computer)}Heimdal Thor Foresight^{(Heimdal Thor Foresight's)}列表中的一些程序的旧版本。然后，我们观看了Heimdal Thor Foresight做。它立即检测到并开始更新旧应用程序。只用了几分钟，就全部修好了。

Heimdal Thor Premium Home 信守诺言，兑现承诺。在我们的测试中，我们发现它是一种有效的产品。唯一需要改进的是 Thor Vigilance 防病毒引擎提供的扫描速度，以及它不会询问您是否要扫描可移动驱动器这一事实。^{(Heimdal Thor Premium Home keeps its word and delivers what it promises. We found it to be an effective product in our testing. The only things that should be improved are the scanning speed offered by the Thor Vigilance antivirus engine, and the fact that it does not ask whether you want to scan removable drives or not.)}

您对于Heimdal Thor Premium Home的观点是？

现在您知道Heimdal Thor Premium Home是什么以及做什么了。您还看到了它在我们的测试中的表现，并且您知道我们对这款安全产品^{(security product)}的看法。在结束此评论之前，请在下面的评论部分中分享您对此的看法。你喜欢它所提供的吗？您是否正在^(Are)考虑购买Heimdal Thor Premium Home许可证？

Security for everyone - Reviewing Heimdal Thor Premium Home

Heimdal is а rеlative newcomer to the market of security products. Іn the past, they offered Heimdal Free and Heimdal PRO to home users. They were efficient products, that added new layers of protection to existing antivirus products. We loved using them, and we highly recommended Heimdal to all our readers. The company has recently launched new products, with different names, that also include the traditional antivirus protection that they lacked in the past. We now have Heimdal Thor Free, Heimdal Thor Foresight, Heimdal Thor Vigilance, and Heimdal Thor Premium Home. Read this review and understand what is different between all these products, how efficient they are in protecting your Windows computer, and which one we recommend that you buy:

What are Heimdal Thor Premium Home, Heimdal Thor Vigilance Home, Heimdal Foresight Home, and Heimdal Thor Free?

Heimdal Thor Premium Home is the top security app created by Heimdal for home users, and it includes the following security modules:

1. Thor Foresight Home is a module that provides you with additional security layers. It scans your computer for third-party apps that are known to have security vulnerabilities and, if any are found, automatically updates them to their latest versions. It can also block incoming attacks, ransomware, banking trojans, phishing attempts, and so on, by scanning all your internet traffic (HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS). If you are already a victim, Thor Foresight Home can also block the communications between malware and cybercriminal-controlled servers, to prevent botnet inclusions, data leakage, ransomware dial back, etc. In conclusion, Thor Foresight Home is a security module that offers you proactive protection, to stop threats before they reach your computer.
2. Thor Vigilance Home is the antivirus module bundled by Heimdal Thor Premium Home, based on the Avira antivirus engine. The antivirus uses both local and cloud-based virus definitions, and provides you with protection against traditional malware threats. In other words, Thor Vigilance Home offers reactive protection against threats that have already found their way onto your computer, or those that you are accessing in real-time.

If you do not need all the features of Heimdal Thor Premium Home, you can buy Thor Vigilance Home and get only the antivirus module, or Thor Foresight Home to get only the proactive protection layer. Heimdal Thor Free includes just the app-updater module.

Heimdal Thor Premium Home: Who is it good for?

Heimdal Thor Premium Home is a security product that is great for people who want to:

• Protect their computers from malware attacks originating on the internet, ransomware, banking and financial trojans, viruses, phishing attempts, etc.
• Automatically patch and keep vulnerable apps up-to-date
• Stop their personal information from being stolen and leaked online
• Be protected from malware threats that have already found their way onto their computers, using its built-in antivirus engine

Pros and cons

We appreciate the following about Heimdal Thor Premium Home:

• The user interface looks good, and it is easy to use
• It enhances your security by automatically patching many of the commonly used, known to be vulnerable, third-party apps
• Has a web scanning engine that protects you against malicious websites before you reach them in your web browsers and apps
• If your PC gets infected, Heimdal Thor Premium Home can block internet traffic and stop hackers from stealing your information. That is especially important when you consider your financial and banking data
• It includes an antivirus engine that offers reactive protection even when malware managed to get on your computer

We identified a couple of less positive aspects too:

• There are too many Thor products, with names that do not make it easy for people to understand what they do and how they differ from one another. The portfolio of Heimdal Thor products should be simpler to understand.
• Thor Vigilance should proactively ask users to scan removable drives when they get plugged into their PCs
• Thor Vigilance is slow to scan your computer for viruses and other malware

Verdict

Heimdal Thor Premium Home is an innovative security product, with many protection layers. If you want the best possible security from Heimdal, you should consider purchasing it. The proactive protection features that it includes are excellent, as they cover security gaps usually left open by traditional antivirus products. While the new Thor Vigilance antivirus module is not the best that we have tested, the Heimdal Thor Premium Home product as a whole is one of the best products on the market that deliver complete anti-malware protection.

The download and installation experience

To get Heimdal Thor Premium Home on your computer, you must first download it from the official website. The file you download is a small executable called Heimdal.DeliveryLauncher.msi, with a size of only 756 KB. The launcher downloads the files required for the installation. You should get around 42.8 MB of files from Heimdal's servers. Heimdal Thor Premium Home lets you choose the language it uses (English, German, Danish or Korean). You can also select a custom install location and say whether you want a shortcut for it placed on your desktop.

Once you agree to its license terms, you can activate the product. If you purchased a Home or Enterprise license, enter your license key. Otherwise, you can choose to activate a trial version of Heimdal Thor Premium Home or use the Free version, which means you only get the app patching feature in the Heimdal Thor Foresight module, but nothing more. For the free trial or the free version of Thor, you have to provide only an email address.

When the activation is complete, the wizard tells you when the license expires, and you can continue installing the software.

The install process takes a few seconds from start to finish. Once the installation ends, Heimdal Thor Premium Home loads its user interface and starts its protection processes. There is no need for a reboot.

The download and install processes for Heimdal are fast and easy to go through. If you are installing the Thor Premium Trial or the Thor Free versions, the only personal information you have to provide is a valid email address. If you are installing Thor Home Premium or Enterprise, you must also enter the license key to activate your product.

Ease of use and configuration

Heimdal Thor Premium Home's user interface is rather good looking, following the flat design trend that we see everywhere from Windows 10 to Android. The user interface is split into two major sections: Thor Foresight and Thor Vigilance. Thor Foresight shows whether your computer is healthy or not, and gives you details and access to the different features in this module: DarkLayer Guard, Targeted processes, Probability of infection and Software updates.

Thor Vigilance is the section found on the right side of the window, and it shows whether or not it is enabled and working well. It also gives you access to its main features and actions. You can use it to start or see when the last On Demand Scan was run, enable or disable the Real Time Protection, see the number of Infections and Quarantined items from the last 30 days.

Both Thor Foresight and Thor Vigilance let you trigger manual scans with just a click or tap on the Scan Anyway or Quick Scan buttons.

The central console also changes its coloring depending on your system's health state. For instance, if Heimdal Thor Premium Home finds third-party apps that need to be patched with updates, the Thor Foresight section turns yellow and tells you that "Your computer must be updated," like in the screenshot below.

Inside the Heimdal Thor Foresight module, there are three major security components: DarkLayer Guard, VectorN Detection, and X-ploit Resilience. Let's see what each of them does:

DarkLayer Guard is a two-way traffic scanning engine that allows Heimdal Thor Foresight to block network communications when it detects zero-day exploits, ransomware, data leakage, and next-generation attacks. Dark Layer Guard protects your PC from attacks before they compromise it.

Thor Foresight's VectorN Detection, according to Heimdal, "uses Machine Learning technology to perform an in-depth analysis of all incoming and outgoing HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS traffic." It is designed to analyze the user's internet traffic patterns to identify known and also yet unknown malware attacks. In other words, it detects and blocks second-generation malware.

The third security component from Thor Foresight is called X-ploit Resilience. It is responsible for keeping your third party apps up to date, patched with the latest updates available. X-ploit Resilience displays all the third-party apps that are installed and monitored by Heimdal Thor Foresight. For each of them, you can see the version installed, its Status, and two different check marks one for choosing whether you want to monitor that software and one for turning the Autoupdate feature On or Off.

If one of the third party apps from Heimdal Thor Foresight's list is not installed on your computer, you can also install it using the One Click App Install feature. We like this small detail, as it allows you to quickly install any of these apps, with just one click. There is no need to go to a particular website to download and install the app. If Heimdal Thor Foresight knows it, it has it.

The list of third-party apps supported by Heimdal Thor Foresight's patching system is extensive. It can now monitor over 70 third-party apps. Although some of the apps are different versions or editions of the same software, the list is quite long and it includes: 7-zip, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Adobe Shockwave, Accordance, Audacity, Axure, Backup and Sync from Google, Box Sync, Calibre, CCleaner, Chrome, Cisco WebEx Meeting Center, Classic Shell, Concierge Services Catering, Dropbox, Everything, FileZilla, Firefox, Foxit Reader, Garmin Express, Gimp, iTunes, Jabra Direct, Java and 8, Jitsi, KaBoo, Krita, Lenovo System Update, LibreOffice, Microsoft Power BI Desktop, Microsoft Silverlight, NemID, Notepad++, OpenOffice, Paint.Net, Picasa, Pidgin, Remote Desktop Manager, Skype, TeamViewer, Thunderbird, VirtualBox, VLC, and WinRar.

The other module from Heimdal Thor Premium Home - Thor Vigilance - is a traditional antivirus engine based on Avira. It can be used to detect and block malware that is already on your computer so that it can act against viruses, trojans, harmful scripts, spyware programs, and others alike. Thor Vigilance uses malware signatures found on your system as well as in the cloud.

Although many of the protection modules found in Heimdal Thor Premium Home can be enabled or disabled right from the main interface, this security product also includes a series of more advanced Settings. You can access them by clicking on the small cog wheel from the top right corner of the user interface. You can turn the main modules On or Off as well as set the frequency of scans for things like patching apps or updating virus definitions.

We appreciated that Heimdal Thor Premium Home includes a range of settings which you can use to adjust the number and types of notifications you receive from it. In the Notifications section from the Settings, you can turn the Balloon notification On or Off altogether, but you can also go into detail and see whether you want to see notifications about malicious traffic that has been blocked, about software updates, malware infections or security news alerts.

Heimdal Thor Premium Home also includes some Support options: open the menu from the central console, and you can then access their Educational materials, FAQ (Frequently asked questions), read the product manuals or, if you need further help, you can Contact them by sending an email with a ticket request.

Heimdal Thor Premium Home offers a user interface with a flat design that looks good. We liked how easy it is to work with the various modules and features available, and we are sure that users will be pleased too.

How well does Heimdal Thor Premium Home protect you?

Heimdal Thor Premium Home works by adding a series of extra layers of security on top of your antivirus solution or together with Thor Vigilance (the antivirus engine that is part of Thor Premium Home), all to protect you against cyber threats. Let's take a look at each of these security features and see whether they work as advertised:

The first protection layers offered by Heimdal Thor Premium Home are the DarkLayer Guard and VectorN modules. They analyze all the traffic going on your computer and check whether the websites that you are trying to load are known to hold malicious content. If they detect something dangerous, Heimdal tries to stop the threats before they reach your computer.

To test the efficiency of this security product, we used all the popular web browsers (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer) and tried to load a series of websites known to be phishing scams or hold malicious content. Our findings were positive, and we can confirm that Heimdal Thor managed to block all the malicious websites that we tried to access. It worked as it should have in all the web browsers that we tested.

Heimdal Thor Premium Home also includes Thor Vigilance, which is an antivirus engine designed to react when malware is already found on your PC or when your computer is already infected.

For it, we started by checking how it deals with infected malware files stored on removable drives. We placed a bunch of viruses on a USB memory stick and then plugged it into our test computer. Unfortunately, Thor Vigilance did not automatically scan the memory stick, nor did it ask us if we wanted to scan it. We decided to run a custom scan to see if it identified the malicious files we had on that stick. Thor Vigilance managed to identify all of them and promptly moved them into the quarantine.

Next, we took our test computer and installed a clean version of Windows 10, we patched it with all the available system updates, and then we installed a whole series of viruses on it. We asked Heimdal Thor Premium Home to install itself and clean our computer. We were pleased to see that the suite had no problems installing and starting its protection services. We were also happy to see that it was able to detect and to remove all the malware on the system.

Another important feature when it comes to evaluating the performance of an antivirus engine is how fast it is when scanning for malware. Therefore, we measured the speed at which Heimdal Thor Vigilance scanned our 137GB system partition with 75GB of files on it. It took 18 minutes, on average, which is rather slow.

At the time of writing this review, Heimdal Thor Premium Home can monitor and automatically patch over 70 different third-party apps. The list includes widely used programs known to be vulnerable that are usually targeted by malware and hackers. We wanted to see whether Heimdal Thor Premium Home does indeed update the programs found in this list of critical applications. So we used our test computer that was running on Windows 10, and we installed old versions of a few of the programs found in Heimdal Thor Foresight's list. Then, we watched what Heimdal Thor Foresight does. It immediately detected and started updating the old apps. In only a couple of minutes, they were all patched up.

Heimdal Thor Premium Home keeps its word and delivers what it promises. We found it to be an effective product in our testing. The only things that should be improved are the scanning speed offered by the Thor Vigilance antivirus engine, and the fact that it does not ask whether you want to scan removable drives or not.
