Review by FileBEAST's Dunny One:

Vcatch has some very unique additions to the usual security tools implemented with virus scanners. If a new virus or virus clone is detected, Vcatch will update the definition list automatically without user intervention. This way Vcatch is constantly up-to-date. Plus Vcatch is so very light on the system resources, that you may not even realize it is running in the background. Another plus is that Vcatch doesn’t even look so bad, for a freeware title. Download Vcatch if you are looking for a smarter Anti-virus tool.

Publishers Description

VCatch is a new, free tool, developed to protect your computer from web viruses. Whether you use an Email application, Web based Email, ICQ, or one of the new file-sharing programs (iMesh, KaZaA etc.); VCatch is the tool for you.

VCatch is a virus protection software. When VCatch is active it will check all the files sent or downloaded to your computer via Email and Web applications. In the event that VCatch detects that a file is suspected to be a virus, the software automatically deletes the file and notifies you.

VCatch supports the following Email programs: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora and Netscape Messenger. In Addition, VCatch protects your computer from viruses downloaded using Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator web browsers, files sent to your computer by ICQ, and files downloaded using popular file-sharing software such as iMesh and KaZaA.

VCatch has a unique automatic update mechanism. When a new virus is detected in the Net, VCatch automatically updates its virus definitions list in your computer. So once you install VCatch, you don't have to do anything else to be constantly protected.

VCatch uses a combination of several techniques to protect your computer. VCatch Internet professional searchers are responsible to constantly update the viruses list so VCatch can keep the mail messages and the files containing them out of your computer. In addition, VCatch is using the Advanced Malicious Application Detection system (called "APayya"), which scans every incoming file looking for suspicious characteristics using a very sophisticated and flexible rules system. VCatch enables you to set the preferred security level and uses these settings when a suspicious file is detected in order to decide whether to notify you. This way you can be sure you are protected both from known viruses and from unknown malicious applications.

VCatch was designed to use as little computer resources as possible. The software is very small and uses your computers resources only when one of the applications listed above is running.
