Description:

The f-stopw.exe is an anti-virus program that launches the F-Prot Anti-Virus software developed by the company F-Risk Software. The program f-stopw.exe serves as the primary program for running the background scanning utility of the F-Prot Anti-virus software. Moreover, the f-stopw.exe file still needs to use an Internet connection in order to be truly effective in detecting malicious programs that may infiltrate the computer system. As a whole, the F-Prot Anti-Virus software also needs to use an Internet connection in order to update its database on the latest known viruses. The program file f-stopw.exe, along with the rest of the F-Prot Anti-Virus software, can be used by up to five computers that share the same local area network.

In addition to this, the F-Prot AVES manages online e-mail security, which filters away the trouble of spam e-mail as well as viruses, worms, and other malware that can progressively clog up inboxes and threaten data security. Like similar applications, the f-stopw.exe file has the ability to seclude or quarantine infected files as well as delete them if necessary.
