Sometimes the main problem about antivirus apps is the amount of system resources that they require. But what if your antivirus was embedded right into your browser?

This is what you can have with the Softonic Antivirus Toolbar, a complete browser toolbar that works with Firefox and Internet Explorer, and protects your system from online threats while you continue happily browsing the Web.

The Softonic Antivirus Toolbar is nowhere near a desktop antivirus solution: it doesn't feature real-time protection, nor email or IM filters, and it's not integrated into Windows Explorer for a more comfortable file analysis. On the upside, it lets you scan your system or a selected folder at any time from the browser window, and offers four different actions for infected files: quarantine, delete, cure or skip.

But the Softonic Antivirus Toolbar is not just an antivirus tool that works inside the browser. As a toolbar, it grants you access to a wide variety of customizable online services such as Internet radio stations, online TV channels, weather forecast, your favorite RSS feeds, a dozen different online games and the so called gadgets, which are small add-ons that let you do quick translations, check something on Wikipedia or keep a todo list, among others.

The Softonic Antivirus Toolbar is a simple, quick antivirus tool that works from within your web browser and offers many extra goodies.
