Will CatchPulse work with our existing anti-virus software?
Yes, since Windows only recognises one AV at a time, you can set CatchPulse so it is not registered as an anti-virus in which case it will coexist with any existing anti-virus you have installed.
If you later decide to install another AV, there is no need to disable CatchPulse because this solution works differently from traditional anti-virus software. That means you can have two scanners to protect you without each getting in each other's way.
This is a valuable offering for those who have already invested in 3rd party software but require additional support for unknown threats.
More information can be found on the following support page.
