I must also note that it offers a mobile application to delete files, cache or any problem on the phone, which is for us a more complete and profitable service, that other services we are very happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MetaDefender?

Its services are impressive, however, it has details to improve, for example, its software only reviews files, it would be great if it were more complete to protect while browsing or offer an extension to provide greater protection, in this way it can be highlighted with other software.

What problems is MetaDefender solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had problems with malicious files because we downloaded all our emails with important information and this in turn can flood our computers with dangerous files and due to computer failures like the one that started a little slower, the applications worked less optimal He looked for a software solution that cleans this type of Metadefender files, which gave us favorable answers which is perfect and profitable for us.
